Uhh, no. This is actually very positive news. It means Nokia is not ditching WiMAX. They keep the option to include WiMAX radio very much open.

Nokia spokeswoman Laurie Armstrong confirmed Wednesday that the company has discontinued the N810 Internet Tablet WiMax Edition on its Web site.

Armstrong did not say why the tablet was withdrawn. But she said Nokia is still interested in WiMax, and by the time WiMax networks are more widely deployed, "refreshed products with even better performance will be required."
So in 2009, while more WiMAX networks are deployed, the N810WME is too much out of date. Makes a lot of sense...
