- I just ordered the upgrade from Motorola this morning. My new Premier will
- soon be on it's way!
-
- BTW, I considered moving to the USR Courier too. I borrowed one from a

-
- The Courier had 10-15% faster file transfers than the Power, but it didn't
- connect at 28.8 as much and I had several disconnects that the Power rarely
- has. It worked very well, but not enough of an improvement for me to
- switch. I was also concerned with the support. Motorola has been very
- responsive to my questions so far.
-
- I'm hoping the Premier will be a step up as well.
