Nokia N810 WiMAX Edition Coming on April 1st
Remember a few weeks ago when we told you that Nokia’s updated N810 Internet Tablet would be introduced on April 1? Well it looks like the Nokia Tableteer site got a little trigger happy because the WiMAX-equipped version of Nokia’s latest tablet appeared on the site a few days early. The new N810 is all but confirmed now, unless of course the Tableteer site is prepping us for a relatively lame April Fool’s gag. The affirmation comes thanks to a nice find courtesy of Internet Tablet School owner Krisse who discovered an updated Internet Tablet page on Nokia’s European site. Links to the N810 page aren’t yet live but they will be. Come day one of CTIA expect those links to bring you to a nice new N810 page. We can’t wait to check out the new IT at the show but there is of course one problem. WiMAX is an exciting network on paper, but it remains to be seen how successful it will be in the US at Sprint’s hand.
Y’all “told” everyone b/c of a comment I made tipping you off:

At least give a boy his credit, damn. My name’s justblase, not “tipster”
Nokia’s holding a “press conference in the sky” at CTIA day one. At first I thought the 810 Wimax was mostly for Europe now but still worth teasing in the US. Now I’m thinking there may be some Xohm action at the show.

Impressive BGR! You actually made a post that didn’t bash Apple!

This is great but…
WiFi access can be found for free and is faster than you’d ever need for surfing.
WiMax doesn’t exist yet in the States, and when Sprint rolls it out (city-by-city) you’ll be paying buckets for it. And for what advantage: coverage? (not for a long while) maybe some video apps??
This is great to push technology forward, but there’s currently no market for this device.

The date of this release makes me want to call shenanigans, hopefully it’s not though.
