I hope not. Why would you update this piece of rubbish with wimax? Outdated hardware, slow cpu, crap application base, bad support if any, run by a weak open source community, prepare to have laggy internet browsing, bad/choppy in browser youtube videos and any type of flash for that matter, useless vga camera that might as well not be there becasue it sucks with gizmodo, prepare to downsize all your movies one by one to make it slightly playable with mplayer, full internet in my pocket my ass. Save your money unless you think using wimax and skype is cost effective for you, rather than just using a normal cellphone to make a call. WASTE OF MONEY. oooo, its linux and open source, if you called that piece of sh*t maemo a operating turd, then maybe - big deal anyway - good luck cross-compile apps to it end-user.
Well, mex, I hope you know that you don't have to cross-compile. This machine runs UNIX, and UNIX wouldn't be complete without a c compiler. You can compile things on the unit, as well as using interpreted languages.
Is it a waste of money? Maybe for people who don't want what it does... but you haven't shown one alternative that beats it for even some categories, so it's hard to think that it's a waste of money for those who do really want what it offers.
mex: Please think before you post! A touch screen, 1GB space, a miniSD slot, WiFi, SIM support, Skype, a Webcam, stand, GPS, over 100 downloadables, UNIX OS, and a full web browser, and now, WiMAX support. Doesn't sound like your typical piece of crap, eh? I have an N800 myself, and I love it to death, especially for the little I paid for it (~$240).
wow really, a internet broswer you say, because I really need to find a wifi spot to make a international call to my african brothers - i guess if your a twitter freak, and have to tell everyone every breath you take - good 4 you. by the way, if you read my early post properly, you wouldn't have bothered mentioning its pathetic webcam. A stand - wow - revolutionary. GPS you say, you have to pay extra for the worst gps software in the world, don't bother mention free maemo mapper because you need a internet connection to figure out your directions. Don't get me started on the N800 brick either. WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME.
