First thing is make sure you have the lastest firmware when you get the device. Then enable the Maemo Extras repo in App Manager (not necessary). After that, you will be able to download all kinds of fun stuff from maemo.org using one-click.

You can skip step 2. .install files automatically enable (or add) the required repository.

Yikes! Good point, my bad.

What does this tell us??

That those of us who bought the device were idiots.

What a bummer.

Don't worry! Somewhere some police departments will need the WiMax for their projects and trade them for new N9x0.

This ius truely an interesting decision. I can only wonder what will happen to th stock. WIMAX, while having some serious growing up problems, is not dead at this time. I personally have access to WIMAX in the Wash DC market and would love to have one. But when they say NOKIA is asking for all stock to be returned immediately, I can only say that there will be no "steal deals" as of yet.

I can only think that NOKIA will disable the WIMAX portion and just make them into standard n810's so as not to lose out on the inventory as a whole. I see NOKIA as deciding not to gamble that the WIMAX ( CLEAR.COM) system will mature fast enough to create a demand for the units and thus the WIMAX editions will be antiquated and still not sell is what I am thinking. So blow them out as N810 standards and cut their losses.

Or replace the WiMax with an HSPA module and sell them cheaply until the N900 comes out?

Won't happen, unfortunately.

well I'm definitely am putting my WE tablet on ebay and getting an itouch now.
