Alas, all too true. Although their firmware is indeed updatable
(they recently updated my PDM670 to handle 4G cards, quickly and
for free). It could be that the tech's comments were aimed at
the pre-updated firmware I had started with.

But I think the world has already moved far beyond the PDM670
anyway.
