DC coverage maps are up!
Check them out over at:

Our coverage maps provide estimates of our coverage areas when using your device under optimal conditions. Coverage isn't available everywhere. Estimating WiMAX coverage and signal strength isn't an exact science.
There are gaps in coverage within our estimated coverage areas that, along with other factors both within and beyond our control (network problems, software, signal strength, your wireless device, structures, buildings, weather, geography, topography, etc.), may result in dropped and blocked connections, slower data speeds or otherwise impact the quality of services.
Estimates of future coverage areas are subject to change.

I have been using the XOHM USB adapter on several Notebooks, UMPCs and my Home Desktop for about two weeks now. I am located in Bethesda MD near Old Gerorgetown Rd and the 495 Overpass. Great Signal Strength so far,, getting 6000-7000 kbps up and 750-1200 Up. I have used all over Rockville MD and as far as Quince Orchard Rd and 270 in Gaithersburg (also connected at Clopper Rd and Mateny Dr). I will grab a few posts I made on another site and paste them here, they have some interesting facts and info.

n810 Non WiMAX. Hoping someone will write us a nice n810 to XOHM USB Connection Program.

That must be the poorest interface I've seen for a mapping application in years.
(All fields are required)
Why not settle for zip and let user zoom in?

No idea when there will be an official announcement, its still listed on their site as coming soon, and when you search in the DC area it says:
"XOHM hasn't launched here. But we're currently building the network in this area, so you may see some neighborhoods that appear in coverage."
Either way exciting!

any of you guys have nokia chat, I think it would be cool for all of us (WiMAX Edition Users) to stay in touch in real time.. Just an idea...

Is XOHM and WIMAX limited to the 810? I don't think I'll be able to upgrade from my N800 anytime soon. (Sorry for what probably is a dumb question.)
