Just to expand on Marc's explanation, the firmware options for units sold in the US are US English or Canadian French. Installing either does not change settings or user data or authorization keys. The Plextalk Pocket does not support BRF. I believe it was an exclusivity requirement for the bookport. Regarding the "please wait" message. The Pocket will not charge when plugged into the USB and is also turned on. This puts it into the USB on the go mode and it goes into storage device mode. Removing the cable will cause the unit to restart into normal operation mode with a "Restarting, please wait". This is normal operation. If the unit gives continual tones or "please wait" on boot/power on, remove the SD card. If the unit announces "no SD card", it has booted and the most likely cause is a corrupted SD card. If it continues to cycle, remove the battery for 15-20 seconds and then power on. Any temporary glitch should clear and normal operation resume.

I don't think there is any functional change in Canadian or US firmware. I suggested because this is the most simple way to reinstall the US firmware. NLS key will still work after upgrade since all data is backed up to the SD-card as part of the upgrade process.

Hi all, is there any advantage, or disadvantage to changing to the Canadian firm ware? Will my NLS key still work? Will it be able to read .BRF files? This is my one pet peeve with the Plex Talk, the fact that the Book Port, wich is the same hardware can do this, but the US version of the plex Talk can not.
