@ Mara these are new devices though. They're all being called back, so it is unclear how long these will be sold.

A few days ago these devices weren't sold on eBay though. I've never seen 'em sold there, and I search regularly.

Is it hard to take out the WiMAX module? What protocol does it use to talk with the OMAP2 hardware? With what can you replace it with?

In EU they don't use 2.5 GHz, they use 3.5 GHz. Read on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...MAX_networks#U at UK entry it doesn't mention 2.5 GHz; only 3.5 GHz, 3.6 GHz, and 3.8 GHz.

For me, the WiMAX module would be useless because there is no WiMAX with 2.5 GHz rolled out anywhere near me.

However I love the way N810WME looks (black with orange). A truelly great combination.
