I hate to beat a dead horse, but I think the customer should have the ability to flash the bn up to the current firmware. Everything else has the ability now, what makes the bn so different. Just like changing the battery. I don't understand why this was not thought of in the design specially the second design of the bn with the new motherboards. For those who just don't to or can not do it then pdi can always offer that as a service.
I'm glad I have my bn, but now that I know more of its hardware limitations I probably would not do it again. That does not mean I am putting down the product, it just means I feel a bit let down about what I have to pay for when it comes time to burn firmware or change a battery. I'm not sure what I will do when I have to cross that bridge and I hope it is a long way off. What is the status on the developer kit? I would love to see the bn get some new features like messaging and other features. Even some games would be nice to pass the time.

Hello Jonathan: Well I would be a little surprised that PDI would charge the customer for the upgrade since it should have been burned in before the unit went out, just my thoughts. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2004 9:37 PM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] It's Going From Bad To Worse! > > > > > Hi John.
