CTIA Coverage: The Nokia N810 - WiMAX Edition
 

Re: CTIA Coverage: The Nokia N810 - WiMAX Edition
 

I like this part:

"Navigation software gets an upgrade"

Hopefully we see this update available sooner rather than later.

Re: CTIA Coverage: The Nokia N810 - WiMAX Edition
 

I'm glad they were able to hold the line on price, instead of jumping it up. Kind of got that idea when the $90 price drop on the "plain" N810 occurred.

I'm glad too that someone was willing to say to you that they are shooting for 2Q, rather than the wishy-washy "summer of 2008" date the press release commits to.

I'm really surprised about number 11: Skype missing the opportunity to broadcast an uncontestable raison d'etre: "incredible feature here, folks! — cam calls while you're walking around, for free, using VOIP, with all the millions of Skype users!"

PS: Can you get anybody to say whether the OS will wait for the N810 wme release? Or might they let it go first?

Woa- no mention of this?

Reggie,

Big debate here: what's the real way the Nokian's refer to this —

- N810W
- N810WE
- N810wme
- some other variant

Must know right away so forum headlines can be shortened! :-)

Thx

Roger

Re: CTIA Coverage: The Nokia N810 - WiMAX Edition
 

I've seen it referred to internally as N810W... but that may have just been shortened.

Re: CTIA Coverage: The Nokia N810 - WiMAX Edition
 

Well, I'm not terribly surprised on that; it takes time to port and release commercial quality software, and Skype video on x86 Linux just came out. I'm sure it's coming, but I'd have been shocked to see it now.

Re: CTIA Coverage: The Nokia N810 - WiMAX Edition
 

Maybe once you get your tablet, pop out the battery cover and check the label what it says there... :)

Pictures? Pleeaase?

Gawddamnit. Can somebody just tell us? This N810W/WE/WME ******** is out of hand. <_<

Re: CTIA Coverage: The Nokia N810 - WiMAX Edition
 

Just this once I won't "hee hee hee".

Hee.

Re: CTIA Coverage: The Nokia N810 - WiMAX Edition
 

hate the carrot orange keys. skyblue was nice. other than that. this seems pretty good!. Im thinking of giving my n810 to my brother and getting this one or "step 5"

Re: CTIA Coverage: The Nokia N810 - WiMAX Edition
 

There are a lot of pictures are in the article:

I meant of inside the battery compartment. Guess I shoulda quoted...

Re: CTIA Coverage: The Nokia N810 - WiMAX Edition
 

This is the most important question. We know the history is that the new OS waits for the new model, but we can still hope.

Sorry to rain on the parade, but if as it appears, there was no XOHM deal struck in time for CTIA, it really is fouled up. Nokia had probably already decided on a 2Q 810 wme release earlier in the hope or expectation (or nod) that XOHM would be back on track. So the release date might very well slip through no fault of their own.

Re: CTIA Coverage: The Nokia N810 - WiMAX Edition
 

Wonder if they have modified the case in other ways, apart from the change in colour and the bulge at the back. On my N810, the backlight for the keyboard leaks out through the edges. Does not affect functionality but looks a bit ugly, especially because the leak is uneven.

Re: CTIA Coverage: The Nokia N810 - WiMAX Edition
 

Konttori seemed to have suggested that the keyboard had a better feel to it. I'm not certain if this is simply related to production tolerances or actual improvement in the board versus the N810, though.

Re: CTIA Coverage: The Nokia N810 - WiMAX Edition
 

Okay, I checked mine: it says Model XXXX.

I noticed that HE is used to indicated the OS Hacker Edition.

By logical extension, . . .

Some more coverage here:

N810W is shown quite a many places... :D

EDIT: Just finished watching the day 2 videos... there are actually much more interesting that I first thought.

Re: CTIA Coverage: The Nokia N810 - WiMAX Edition
 

Some more media coverage here.

Re: CTIA Coverage: The Nokia N810 - WiMAX Edition
 

Nice video!!

It seems they are using canola2.

Mara. How can we make a feature request?

I mean i think fm transmitter is a wonderful addon to the internet tablets. For example in the video where the lady shows streaming internet radio in the car.... how cool it would be to stream the radio via an fm transmitter(which is already built in the n78) without any wires?

Is it there any way that nokia considers feature requests from customers? If yes how is the best way to go about it?

Re: CTIA Coverage: The Nokia N810 - WiMAX Edition
 

That suggestion was submitted to the proper internal channel quite some time ago (not by me). I don't know if it's beeing considered or not.

Re: CTIA Coverage: The Nokia N810 - WiMAX Edition
 

I just sent the video to engadget. Lets see if they publish it. Can they? or do they have to take permission?

Re: CTIA Coverage: The Nokia N810 - WiMAX Edition
 

I don't understand why everyone is so worked up about this yet to be functional Sprint Xohm Wimax. Firstly, I was under the opinion that it will initially be tested on Chicago, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. Those are popular areas, but I don't see how it's possible everyone on internettablettalk.com lives there. Hell, I live in NYC and Sprint isn't even going to offer it here! If it's not in NYC, there's a slim chance it will reach some no name cities.

Secondly, the costs! I guess the IT is already an expensive toy but I am not made of money. It's one thing to cough up some dough and another to cough up that dough monthly. Data plan's aren't cheap, experimental plans aren't cheap, and Sprint isn't cheap, so I don't expect an experimental data plan from Sprint to be cheap. Then again, that's just me.

Thirdly, the battery. I don't know how it will fare so I will just leave it at that. Battery life of online gadgets is always pretty poor, so I don't know if this point is exactly valid. I like BT tethering because it takes very little battery life from the IT, but it kills my phone. I guess there's just no getting around the battery life. At least the battery is replaceable, unlike some (Apple) devices.

So, on another note I just got a N810. I don't want to wait for the wimax version, and I don't even know if I will use the wimax or be impressed by it. I am selling my N800 on ebay, so I will do that shortly and post again in the for sale section.

Re: CTIA Coverage: The Nokia N810 - WiMAX Edition
 

Hey, I live in a city with no name.
But WiMAX is here in this big 'ole backwater town. But you can't have it like the promo suggests, yet.

Won't somebody think of the children errr, costs!
Data plans are only expensive because well, we've been taught to think that data is special. To me it is all data and what I run on it is my choice. I choose not to pay by the application, phone, text, chat, email, browsing, etc; it is all simply data and the provider doesn't need to provide anything more than a simple ISP.

Do you use a cell phone? I don't for the same reason that I don't have t.v., sat, landline, howard stern, or a video rental card; costs. I pay only for internet, aka data. The phone/communications, research, and entertainment is via those data tubes. Being more mobile with my data is a service I might want to pay for. But not via the way it is offered and priced with the current systems. yeah, it is kinda a big deal.

always an issue as more and more is stuffed into the pocket but we're only mobile long enough to get somewhere so we'll just need to make it easy to power and charge them in more places.

Well I don't have very high hopes for the short term either. I'm doing fairly well with WiFI already and can always hope for true mobility.
