That's because, as others have pointed out: it isn't.

A new device does not make your current one cease to work.

New firmware does not cause your current OS to expire.

Since the N810WE just came out, it and the regular N810 can look forward to at least another year's official support and who-knows-how-much unofficial (community) support.

I have to say I am extremely frustrated with the abuse of the word "obsolete". I wish people would throttle down a bit.

EDIT: the proper term you're looking for is supersede(d). But don't worry; I used to work with documentation professionals who confused the two every day.
