But the N-series phones are not so %10-ish, and it's an N-series. If it's essentially either an N800 or an N810 with WiMAX stuffed in, then N801/811, N802/812 (to leave room for the SIM version:)), etc. would make sense. Still, Texrat said it's not what anyone would expect, and I have seen it referred to as a N801 before. I wouldn't put any money on this, ever, but could be going to 4 digits?

Re: WiMAX Internet Tablet Update

Since it's going to be some time before WiMAX becomes widespread, I'm more interested to see what Nokia will put in their upcoming entry level tablet, the N008.

ZWave IR Remote Technology... it'll be the N008Z and the sku for US/UK is N008Z-USUK

Re: WiMAX Internet Tablet Update

my vote would be the N810wu - for wimax usa, n810wc - wimax canada, 810wu - wimax uk, etc etc

wimax requires regional regulatory permissions, so I can see there will be national variants.

hope nokia fix the video bandwidth problem too, I see that as being just as important as more ram+flash!

It seems that the problem is not the hardware after all. The problem was a buggy gpsd (or buggy function feeding gpsd the date) that was giving the wrong date by exactly a day ... which cases the gps to cold start every single time.

The gpsd fix is only for warm starts. Cold starts are still in 2+ minute range. Cold fixes are the more important ones -- usually your GPS has been off for a while when you need to use it.

The problem _is_ in the hardware. As far as I can tell, the TI 5300 chip does not bother to store almanac data. The chip also requires at least 4 satellites to obtain a fix, when most (all?) other chips only need 3.

Jussi Kukkonen found the problem and made a fixed deb available here:

Hey there :). Give me some credit too. I was the one to discover the problem. Jussi found a fix for it.

In hindsight I have to qualify that by saying not what most would expect. :D
