So, I've made the decision to part with my T1
I spoke to them today and since they don't have a fix for the bugs and they don't know when they'll be able to sort it out, I asked for a refund.
If they fix it, I will probably re-purchase it because I think it's a great reader and definitely the best one available where I live. By then, maybe it will even have dropped in price
It's sad, though, I'm disappointed
