Remember the rumor we saw floating about a few weeks ago about a Nokia N810 refresh? Well, the lads at The Boy Genius Report are reporting -- on a rumor mind you -- that Nokia is set to launch its N810 refresh with WiMAX at CTIA in April this year. Interestingly, the name will remain the same, and not be labeled the Nokia N830 as we'd first thought. Yeah, it's only a rumor at this point, but we're thinking that giving this radio-less internet appliance a bit more reach is nothing but a good thing.
Please let this be true.
Well since it's April 1rst it will be released with a sticker for a screen but will be able to play FM in stereo.
Will it run windows mobile too?
Who has access to Wimax? Isn't it one of those "coming soon" type of technologies?
Canada has Roger's and Bell for Wimax, with lots of coverage. This could be an interesting device indeed, on their portable plans.
I don't get the point of having wimax in ANYTHING at this point (or ever, honestly). I mean really, where would you be able to use this? 30 square miles of Chicago and Philly? Gimme a break... I really don't get all these companies talkin' about WiMax products anyways, there's only one carrier that even uses it.
because it will destroy the cell phone industry if it can be call that.
who the hell pays $20 for unlimited.
we won't see wimax
In the future, you won't need phones.
@AboveUnrefined
Mind elaborating? Cause I don't see how that relates to what I said or anything in general really. Besides it doesn't even make any sense.
"In the future you won't need phones" is true, in a sense.
With Wimax you can go VOIP and save some $. Right now, in Canada at least, this is a very viable option.
What do you mean "radio-less?" Does it not have a WiFi radio and a Bluetooth radio?
WiMax barely has any coverage right now, and LTE is going to be coming around soon. They'd be better served giving it HSPA, if anything.
$20 for unlimited "txt messages".
oops
Can anyone say "April Fools!"?
I was going to bring this up.
what i was thinking
Guys, "April 1st".
April Fools?
Since when did Bluetooth and WiFi become non-radio..?!
I guess I should take this opportunity to ask a stupid question like, "what is WiMax?" Yes, I could google it but, what's the fun in that?
FRZ, WiMAX is THE new standard in teledildonics.
Ok, I'll just look it up cause, that just sounds nasty, "tele-dildo-nics".

We have wimax coming in the next month for everyone in this area. They are testing with a few people now so if everything goes well I will definitely buy this with wimax as I need a good mobile product.
Well there's enough of coverage in Europe(what is Nokia's main market after all)to make this sell something and Nokia did say in 2007 that there will be devices in 2008 with wimax.
i live in chicago and so i will benefit from the wimax connection most of the time, but will it also have wifi connectivity if i chose to take it out of wimax range?
