It may not take long to see RX-48 on FCC...

As of the other part, building limited volume of *any* phone or IT is not suitable for Nokia style mass manufacturing. We all know that both N800, and even N810 volumes, are not that high yet. Keeping up two different product lines with two different stocks of components, etc., for "small quantity product" does not make economical sense. (Especially if the selling price of N800 is so much lower now.) I can see easily the drive to "kill" N800 to free manufacturing resources and boost up the N810 volume.
