I am certain most of us that have sold would prefer not to but in order to 
swing the justifiably high price of the new hardware we had no choice.  I loved 
my 5000 and am sad I won't be able to use the new release when it is ready... 
But that is the price of progress.  In my opinion the 5000, 3000 and 1500 
represent very mature systems and should continue on well into the future.   
Their price point makes them much more accessible.  The way I look at it this 
shift will nearly double the user base of flex radios.  I don't know the 
numbers of the new series radios sold but I would say it is very very high.  I 
am sure the sale of many of the current radios has hurt flex's sales of those 
units... But I presume they expected that.  It is an interesting phenomenon for 
sure.  I wouldn't worry about the legacy products they are great... Much better 
the last year or so for sure.  It seems you are mostly worried about the latest 
release being slow due to priorities being not there and I must say that has 
crossed my mind also.  It does seem like flex as a company is a bit overloaded 
right now and I hope they are doing something to remedy that.  It does seem the 
answer to a great number of questions here, yahoo and facebook etc seem to add 
to that perception which is unfortunate.  Everybody seems stressed and 
overburdened; albeit excited.  I bet that will get worse as we get closer to 
the end of Q412 but I hope I am wrong.  I am betting on it...hi hi.
