Why is FLEX H being advertised as an upgrade?

I am not happy with the latest FLEX H model and the "trade in" promotion will certainly bring in more disappointed users.

The firmware is not feature complete versus the FLEX
The converter will not convert all config data, in fact almost none
1-2 year feature requests for missing functions of the FLEX

Someone really messed up this idea. On top of recent firmware/update fiascos, it's time to jump ship.

    1. Which specific features are missing that you relied on in the original FLEX?
    2. Which part of configuration did not transfer correctly from the converter?
    3. Which feature requests are missing?
    4. Did you encounter any problem while upgrading to the latest firmware version 1.32?

    Thank you MikeForshock for the heads-up, which I just saw. Ouch.

    Unfortunately I have to agree with Mike at the moment….besides all of the pending feature requests, the H series firmware is just not stable yet….too many random lockups which require a hard power-off the device. Just this morning we had to send a tech out to a client site to reboot a locked flex100H(running latest available firmware). Not to mention how SLOOOW the interface is(and 10+ minute reboots…)

    There are definitely some things that I like about the new interface, but this OS still needs a lot of development….

    By the way, is there a schedule for the next "major" firmware?
