Nokia, you're not going to charge more for this right? I mean what if WiMax goes the way of HD-DVD? I can still use BT tether or WiFi ... but then it's as useful as my e61i with 2100mhz HSDPA in the US. Sure it still connects to EDGE networks - but such a bummer knowing the radio is right there there and yet so unusable.

Again: at the cusp of every paradigm shift, everything's a gamble. But you sure don't gain market share by NOT trying.

Oh, and acevid: the Australia rollout disaster has already been explained, and it wasn't the technology that was at fault.

Of course you're right texrat - but you gotta admit - even HD-DVD had more momentum than WiMax. I'll still buy the friggin thing regardless since I'm a sucker that way

It took ~400 million bucks to derail HD-DVD though.

Just seems like the device and it's killer feature (anywhere broadband) and the reality on the ground as far as the network that's supposed to deliver said broadband aren't matching up..yet.

Every consumer has a threshold of what they're willing to gamble their money on (even a consumer that fits the tablet user profile)...I'm not a Sprint or Nokia innvestor..why should I gamble my money on their device and network? It's a honest and reasonable question...

"Google intends to commit a minimum of $4.6 billion to bidding"

Now that the auctions have ended and AT&T and others are forthcoming about their intentions, we know the stakes are a bit higher in the 4g mobile arena.

Why can't Nokia just simply produce an LTE compatible device too? Nothing wrong with hedging your bets, not to mention with the results of the 700mhz auction, it seems it might be a better plan anyway.

<sarcasm> I am sure it has nothing to do with the fact that the LTE standard (specifically release 8 of UMTS) is not finalized. </sarcasm>

"Dammit Nokia! Hurry up and deliver products to standards that haven't been invented yet. And do it quick. And cheap!"

Did I miss anything?
