Got mine already, and its great 🙂 thanks for the review a few weeks ago, I bought one
I bought one too last week after reading the review here, will update this tonight when I get home from work.
Very nice, these people seem really active on firmwares.
Hard hard is it to update? I hate flashing items I always have bad luck and something blows up 🙁
I had a look Frankie, it looks easy,. copy it to a flash drive, plug it in and go into the upgrade menu, it does it all on screen for you.
