Correct, the whole point of N is MIMO which requires multiple antennas. The 810 is pretty small to really allow spacial diversity to allow the antennas to do the job they are supposed to. I used to develop WiFi radios and worked on some pre-n solutions which required two separate g radio front ends. There's no way the N8x0 could support the added power requirement for this radio solution. I will have to look at the current proposed n draft and some current radios to see what the implementation is.
