Some brand new PW4s still ship with this but others already ship with 5.10.1.3 which hasn't been cracked yet.

I guess I can ask the seller before buying (even better if it's something I can verify with the serial number).

So the future is more certain with the new one. If you get the Wifi version that won't matter, of course.
The other concern is with the ones they're selling as Wifi versions on Woot are the international 3G versions and that 3G can't be used in the USA. I'm not sure where you are but in the USA but in the USA I'd be concerned that that 3G would always be trying to find a tower and drag the battery down. I know some devices do that. I'm not sure this one would but I'd be nervous about that.

I live in Argentina, I didn't even expect 3G/4G to be a thing that worked so it's fine. Would rather go for Wi-Fi only anyways because of the price.
