The WiMAX version of the N810 was never anything more than a curiosity this side of the pond given the limited availability of WiMAX even as a trial. Now it looks like Nokia have had enough of the tribulations of being a WiMAX front-runner and pulled the N810W from the shelves – indeed one report even suggests that dealers have been asked to return unsold stock to Nokia.
Its a shame that WiMAX never took off, but the various interested parties don’t seem to have done a very good job of delivering a credible system either side of the pond.
However, now that Nokia have proved that the N810 hardware will support a WWAN connection why not stick a HSDPA chip on instead and give the N810 new life ahead of its imminent replacement with a new hardware platform to support Maemo 5?
