One thing I've learnt over the years.   When you choose a modem, never pay
any premium for a "future" feature or upgradability.  It's just $$ down the
drain.  Never have I found an upgrade or trade-in plan which gives you a
discount for what you've pre-paid.

Having said that, FlashROM is the only thing which comes close, perhaps.
