Getting frustrated!!!!

I feel like I've been waiting forever for my backordered KR1 to ship. The frustrating part to me is that Kyocera is forcing us to wait to fix what amount to a couple of minor issues in their firmware that don't affect the core functionality of their product. They're punishing the early adopters who have been patiently waiting for this product for a long time. Ship it and let us upgrade the firmware later. This is technology. There will always be bugs and thaty's why the device has a firmware upgrade mechanism.

The issues with the Novatel card are irrelavent to me. I have a Kyocera card. I could really care less about hardware setup wizards. (In fact, I wish someone would patent the concept and refuse to allow anyone to license it).

It's a business stance catered towards the technologically incompetent. That does not work out better for everyone. In particular, it penalizes the tech savy early adopter. Just my $.02. I'd have rather been given the choice of recieving my unit now and upgrading it later.

Is there a list of the known problems that were fixed in the R1002, or what are being worked on? Any tentative release date so I can update my box?

The wireless seems to go down although the card and the light are still good (If I do ifconfig ath0 down; ifconfig ath0 up it starts working again). It happens rarely but enough to be annoying.
