I believe I've heard of WiMAX-connected APs that would let you connect any WiFi device.

what is worrying to me is that its only going to "early testing" now... Texrat may be able to comment, but that sounds to me like its not going to be in the shops anytime soon at all...

From what I recall, it's not due until the middle of the year, anyway. So going into testing now seems about right, to me.

Also, "early testing" means different things to different people along the development chain.

I signed up to ask this question. I'm getting a N810 soon. Texrat, if you can answer this question, please do. If not, then ignore it: Does the new model design look better, does it feel any different compared to the current model?

I don't think texrat is allowed to say much about that.. I, on the other hand, with no idea about what Nokia is up to, I can answer it I think:

- New model design: This will look better to some and worse to others, just as was the case when the N810 came out.
- As it's quite unlikely that a new model will be built exactly like one of the previous ones I think it's pretty safe to say that "yes, it will feel different to the current model(s)".

The real question is: which model did Texrat get? Pleather or faux fur?

Ack!!!

...ok, who's the spy?

Could this little announcement play into things ?

I doubt any of the Beta testers can answer this, but maybe someone else can toss in some insight. I'm just about to purchase a N810, but this WiMax thing seems to be a pretty big deal. I'm in Canada and it's offered all over, but usually Canadian releases for products are held back for half a year after it's released in the US.

What's the likelihood of a simultaneous release along with the Q2 release in the US? Would it be worth holding out for a couple months? Also, would the US models be capable with the 3.5ghz services here?
