I feel your pain rrubin but the reality is early adopters get screwed. The main advantage is the fact you get to play with the product early... the disadvantages can include:
- Poorly designed first iteration hardware with possible problems including overheating, cases cracking etc.
- Poorly designed first iteration software lacking a lot of common sense features
- Hardware speed limitations which may prevent that software being updated
They want you to upgrade. I usually pass my old devices to relatives/friends who would enjoy them and are less demanding about speed/specs. Then I go buy the new version.
Look at early adopters of the iPhone, overheating issues and other crazy things like batteries exploding. Early adopters of the macbook air had their case hinges falling apart etc. Early adopters really take chances.
