- It is definately flashable. The original model had a flashable DSP, but
- new models have the DSP set in ROM. It is still "flashable"

- Motorola's current stance is that it will not be upgraded. This does not
- mean they won't change their mind (this was the stance USR had concerning
- the Sportster as well), and as of my last email with them, they have no
- plans for hardware exchange program.

- After all this, I'd like to point out that my Power consistently
- outperformed the v.34+ Couriers we had w/o a v.34+ upgrade. Im happy with
- it, and while Id like to see v.34+, I wont regret buying my Power. Just
- dont do it in anticipation of a v.34+ upgrade.
