There you go. That's _some_sort_ of upgrade path (full price with no value trade-in).
And given the cost of a technicians labor, handling, testing, etc. this may be the most cost effective option. You end up with a new unit, 2 more stylii and still have a bunch of spare parts.
Now if they offered a "kit" for the home hacker for a reasonable price that would be great.

A little update...

I can't say much on the subject yet, but I can confirm easy access to WiMAX all over Virgina and Maryland. When I was out there recently I kept running into Xohm hotspots almost everywhere I went. Damn things actually got to be pests-- I had the tablet on "autoseek" and the hotspots would sneak up and suck the battery dry if I wasn't paying attention.

So... good news for folks out that way, right?

And testing is going well. That's all I can say.

EDIT: ah! I just found this thanks to the "pr0n" link: http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/s...chicago-and-d/

That's pretty exciting news, Texrat -- here's hoping they don't put you back in the box again. (Ever see Cool-Hand Luke?)

One of my favorite movies.

And there was no "they" involved... just one individual (and it was not related to this site). Still in a box, but one or two flaps have been opened...

Specific to Xohm... I exaggerated a *bit* about battery suckage but it just might turn out to be an issue for folks walking about. That's gonna lead to a need for solutions, whether that be outboard "juicers", carrying spare BP-4Ls, solar cells on headwear or what-have-you.

Interesting... I really hope your conversations aren't curtailed for this because I'm kinda happy for snippet info such as this.

Weird that autoseek does a find-and-latch instead of just a find-and-notify; that might be an issue for some people if the former is a default setting instead of the latter with a wizard-like option for however the user chooses.

Testing is indeed going well, much of the east coast is aswatch in WiMax (I've got friends in telecom, we chat). Sprint/Clearwire has a nice thing going with this, if they don't botch the lauch it could be pretty nice of a mobile pendiulm swing.

Or the use of AM OLED for future devices with a solar/kinetic inducting system for trickle charging that would keep accessory makers in business for the heavier users but a appearance of sustainability for lighter users making Nokia look a bit more environmental

As I said, no relation, but thanks. I have been very careful here.

And I see this as a possible power solution:

http://shop.eten.hu/mugen-power-3600...lue-p-475.html

I'm buying one!

Interesting... certainly will increase the operating time. (3600mAH versus 1500mAH.)

At the bottom of the page Mugen has the standard BP-4L replacement battery with 1800mAH capacity. The standard Nokia battery is only 1500mAH. If true, the 20% capacity increase sounds interesting too and doesn't break the bank... Is it really better, or is Nokia just concervative with the battery rating?

Search
one of the battery threads had a poster who bought one.
