- I am considering the upgrade, and I have a few questions:
-
- 1. I like the way the Power 28.8 looks, and it fits nicely into my
- rather crowded desk space. The Premier 33.6 appears to have the same
- dimensions, so is it physically identical to the Power 28.8?
-
- 2. The Premier 33.6 doesn't seem to have upgraded the fax
- functionality of the Power 28.8; it's still just Class 1 fax. Did I
- miss something? Does this matter?
-
- 3. Will Motorola still be selling the Power 28.8? Will there still be
- flash ROM upgrades? And what is the current ROM level for the Power
- 28.8 anyway? I seem to be at Revision 1; Is there reason for me
- upgrade my Power 28.8 ROM if I'm not at the current level?
