Ummmm.... Linux on a mobile device vs. BSD on a mobile device? I'm not sure that the kernel and other low-level stuff has any real performance difference.

True, true, but, technical semantics aside, I believe Texrat was referring to the whole almost-fullsize computer operating system versus highly mobile-optimized limited OS.

Also note the pads on the far right side, so theoretically they could just solder a wimax module in.

9 pins? for speakers... Seems odd, or are we not talking the same pads?
Texrat, I didn't answer, because the only answers one can give are drastic oversimplifications, hence wrong. But if I had, I'd have gone for this sort of oversimplification:
But I'm sure OpOfIg found your answer more helpful than mine would have been, so carry on!

Because the Nokias can do stuff.It seems wrong in a less harmful way. And as useful, in my opinion (which is that no answer to such a broad question is useful...)

The xray pictures looks completely different than it did the first time around, I swear! ;_;

Ooookaay, picture time.
From SDRman's post, I thought he was suggesting WiMAX could connect to the nine pads below. So my comments have been referencing that. The seven pads under the battery look like a cluster of seven pads in my N800; I thought these were the serial console, but not sure. The four pads are not quite the same layout, but I still identified them with a cluster of four on my N800. I was thinking JTAG, as I'd heard there was a JTAG interface, but I haven't really looked into this stuff much, having heard that it was a battery hog. (Both these clusters are accessible through shielding cutouts on the N800)
None of these look like speaker terminals to me, but I don't really know...

Just to throw in my two cents on the whole "pads" discussion here.. the 4 off on their own (at least on the N800, don't know about the N810... assume they correlate to the ones that are circled in green) I would put heavy money on being header pins for USB. If you check them you'll find that when you put the tablet into USB Host mode, one of the pins goes 5V high just like it does on the USB connector. I got myself some pogo pins a while ago to test the theory but never got around to actually doing it...
As for the rest... well somebody mentioned serial/JTAG, which on the N800 again I know are part of the other group of pads that are exposed right beside the battery through a cutout in the sheilding, but I haven't investigated those myself...

The 4 in green are used for factory firmware flashing.

If you want Wimax in Canada, you're going to be forced to buy that monolith anyway (I dare you to get Portable Internet but not buy the modem). Why are they selling such gargantuan monstrosities, especially if Nokia is able to jam the same hardware into a corner of the N810?
