I'm actually half expecting that most members of the forum will respond in the same level of enthusiasm for a few reasons:

1) They already have N800s/N810s and are quite satisfied without a Wimax radio; put another way, the upgrade isn't significant enough.
2) The marketing/pr campaign for the device has so far has been abysmal. Even when actively searching its hard to find any information to get excited over.
3) WiMax deployment still seems as though it's a wildcard. It's been talked about to death, with some known deployments peppered about North America, but is very far from being universal, and there are few assurances that it'll ever be (although I believe it will be, but this is from a hypothetical perspectives of the general public).

I think if Wimax deployment were a little farther along, this device would have increased appeal. Perhaps Nokia is waiting until Wimax is widely available before launching their ad campaign?

Time. Will. Tell.

YARR!
