I think they are - N810 is a best-seller in many online stores.

finally!, glad i found this before posting a new one.. i bought an n810 from bestbuy (3 left in store) & took it home, fiance' said no, & showed me a rack of bills, enuff said ( i didn't even tease myself by taking the plastic cover off the face of it didin't even power it on), i returned it the next night aftr work.. 4 minutes right aftr i made the return & had left out of the store, she texts me that she felt she was being cruel & THAT I COULD KEEP IT! smh...
now the wimax version is killing me, should i just go back to bestbuy & get it back, or wait?, rumors have it that wimax is already live here in wash dc / bmore / chicago, but theres no way to test that w/o hands on equipment, i could do soo much with the n810, with gizmo or skype, i could turn it into an international calling device when i travel, that gsm couldn't touch price wise, i could use it for a storage place for transport of music / videos, i could take it on boring events with the fiance' a grab grab wifi signal to shorten the world.. so much... shucks who got this kinda patience....

Europe has much faster and cheaper phone networks than America, with much wider coverage, so there's much less need for Wimax in Europe, and the same is true in many parts of Asia as well. Here in Finland I can surf as much as I want with my tablet through a 3G phone for about 14 dollars a month with no extra charges or caps at all.
If I were you, I'd get the tablet now and wait while wimax rolls out properly (if it ever does roll out, there was some talk at the beginning of the year that the wimax network Nokia was going to use had been cancelled).

lmao.. u killin me man! but i was always a late bloomer on tech, i'd rather use the n810 which is well tested by now, & some serious things are happening wth it, if i do such a thing, i'd really want to max up the external memory with a hard to find 32gb microSD, with an miniSD adapter., i'd ride the n810 out till the technical wheels fall off it. lol

ahh, & the n800 looks alot tougher on wear also, but the n810's sliding keyboard keeps jerking my eyesight... & it's size, compared to the n800.

WiMax might be coming to the U.S. in a big way. If this goes through it will be a huge boon to the companies involved and completely change the communication landscape in the U.S. It be an even greater boon for customers who would now have competition against insane cellular data rates.

OS2008 has definitely only just arrived though, so it's hard to believe they'd dump that a few months after it launched. Presumably if an upgraded tablet arrived soon it would still run OS2008, just a bit faster than the N8XX.
This all depends of course on how well the tablets are selling. If they're flying off the shelves then Nokia has more incentive to come up with new models.
