Um, all of them I guess!

Has anybody guessed the right name? Or at least gotten the first two or three characters correct?

Okay. I'll say this: somewhere in this thread, a correct guess was made.

Ok. Here is a complete list of every guess made in this thread. ONE of them is the name of the new tablet!

N008
N008Z

N770

N801
N802
N802.16
N802.16e

N810w

N810i
N810wu
N810wc
N810wu
N810+MM
N810+MM+WM
N810+WiMax
N811
N812
N820
N830
N880
N890

N900
N910

N(friggin sweet)

GP3X

P&|A
Pandora

E820

Netsucker
NaN
Nπ

Very unlikely
Unlikely
Possible
Likely

That's 31 guesses. I think it's safe to say that it starts with N8* so that leaves only 16 possible options. If we cut out the repetitive ones we get down to about 7-9, and once we elimate the ones Texrat already said weren't right, that only leaves about 4 or so options.

Hmmm ... usually 4 satellites are needed for 3D fix and 3 are good enough for a 2D fix given a simple model of the Earth. I know my iBlue external GPS would give me a 2D fix until it finally resolved a full 3D fix. Perhaps that is the step that is missing with the N810s hardware that is giving the perception that it is taking a much slower time to finally complete the fix. Considering there doesn't seem to be anywhere in the included maps software that gives altitude, perhaps the hardware can be kicked into a different "2D" mode that would be sufficient for most ground navigating people.

Sorry ... I was just relaying info what I saw in Jussi's blog in response to someone's complaint about the built in GPS. Didn't mean to not give credit where credit is due ... kudos to your insight.

Guesses are fun. But it'd be more fun if Nokia/Maemo rewarded the correct guesser with the new tablet. Any thoughts Texrat on how to swing that idea within the Nokia organization?

That's 29 guesses. I think it's safe to say that it starts with N8* so that leaves only 16 possible options. If we cut out the repetitive ones we get down to about 7-9, and once we elimate the ones Texrat already said weren't right, that only leaves about 4 or so options.

Here kitty, kitty, kitty!
Just curious how you ranked probability? presumably not taking TR's input, since you account that later, and also because you list N9xx as Unlikely, not Very unlikely.
Anyway, here's a couple you missed (emphasis added):

Perhaps we should move this to the wiki...

Was this post the first time that !@$#% rat started ducking? Or did he just have to make a crack about GA's speed, and that was necessary for texture? AAAAaaaaaarrrggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

No, sorry, this is not an official contest nor can I make it one. And I also can't acknowledge the winner...

Thanks for your response, Texrat - It was worth a shot!

AFAICT from info to-date, only US customers will benefit from the WiMAX edition. Will other countries will have progressive releases after the initial launch in the US?
