Do we know anything about this device besides the fact that it supports Wi-MAX? If that is the major thing, then I will get the N810, because I am not really interested in Wi-MAX. I really just want an N810 for basic web browsing, IRC, email, some Wi-Fi hacking... What are your opinions? Do you think it is a better idea to go with the current model, or wait for the next-gen? Also, if you anything about the upcoming N900 please post it here.
Thanks!
You aren't going to find any "facts" on the next IT until it is about to be released. Only someone from Nokia would know for sure what is going to occur on the next gen Nokia IT. (For all we know it could be a N820 -- 800/810 +Keyboard -GPS +WiMax?). And they wouldn't be talking about it right after bringing the N810 to market -- they want to sell the N810, not have you wait to buy the next IT a year from now...

Going by the past IT timeline, a N900 is more likely to be released in time for next year x-mas - so you'd have to hold your breath for a full year. The rumoured Wimax device is generally supposed to be a Wimax-enabled N800.

Yeah, I know it's all speculation. If you think that it's going to take that long for the next one to come out, then I'll just get the N810. But I thought that I heard in some Nokia press release that a new one would be coming in around spring...

You will cannibalize your sales of the existing product as people wait for the "new" product. You probably won't hear any decent speculation about the new product until someone finds a FCC request...

To me it seems obvious that the next gen will include some kind of cell/long-range type communication, but I really wonder how useful (in the sales sense) it will be.
1. WI-Max? I live in New York and there is no rollout of this service.
2. At least in the US, cell type data service is still locked among the vendors, and either GSM or the other one (forgot). My point is that Nokia will have to sell multiple versions of the 900 depending upon carrier (and thus technology), and users will have to decide if they want to change cell phone plans to get the best rates.
Personally, I believe the 'tehered modem' is the short term way to go, hopefully with a new, faster version, of bluetooth. But ask me on another day, and I might have a different answer.
