The hardware is complete. But I assume that if hardware bugs are discovered,
it will be considered to fix them before the consumer release (depending on
the bug). Since all the software isn't ready yet, I guess it is impossible
to be 100% sure there are no bugs. But remember, they did a lot of testing,
so I guess the hardware is good.

The software should be easy to update. You can install/upgrade/uninstall
programs on the phone with opkg. It should also be relative simple to
download a new image and flash the phone. It is documented in the wiki.
