WiMAX? or to support BT and linking to a cheap(er) device that supports the data technology most appropriate to the part of the world you live in, and the network you connect via.
Good point.

I should not have stated WiMAX specifically, but "standardized mobile data" with the ubiquity of GSM. In this case, yes, I would like at least one standard supported on the N900 if it remains a viable, cost-effective solution.

I agree. In the event that the market remains fragmented with different mobile data technologies, then an external device (or upgrade slot) would be the most appropriate solution. Future consumer devices will probably predict this trend.

Of course. I would be too!
