Nokia pulls plug on N810 WiMAX Edition

In a startlingly abrupt move just one day after the launch of WiMAX service in Portland, OR, Nokia is reportedly discontinuing production of its N810 WiMAX Edition internet tablet and will stop all sales effective immediately. Nokia has yet to announce the move publicly, but a reliable source within Nokia claims the WiMAX-enabled N810 has been pulled from inventory systems and distributor locations with current stock have been instructed to return all units to Nokia. While the source could not attest to Nokia’s motive behind this recall, he speculated that WiMAX switch issues combined with the slow roll out were major factors in the decision. It is currently unclear whether or not Nokia plans to re-release the N810 WiMAX Edition at a later point in time, or if the company has any additional WiMAX-enabled devices in development. Currently, the N810 WiMAX Edition is still available for sale on the Nokia USA site. We have contacted Nokia regarding this matter and will update this post with any official comment from the company.

    Such a pathetic persecution-complex! You sad, sad li’l victim. The only cure is to be a responsible, dignified adult. Otherwise, stock up on Kleenex, poor thang. ;)

    And exactly where is the dignity in your post? The 1st post by you in the Mondi article is completely baseless, when called on it your responses were far from dignified

    If you must cross-post, provide a link. Otherwise, a reasonable person may be lead to believe you are only attempting to smear without evidence [again]. Thanks!

    Post 2, 8 and 10 in the Mondi thread is evidence enough, a link isn’t necessary because it’s a recent story on the 1st page. More evidence is post 12 and 14 in the same article. Back to Nokia backing off of WiMax, I think they were not happy that the 810 didn’t get branded while they had plans to brand the Samsung clone. I will wait and see if they consider getting back into this but think they feel played, a chance they may do like thier CDMA offerings. All those are cheap and plain, going manly to pre pay and vzw

    Don Louie … Simply go fuck yourself into oblivion for continuing to insult the intelligence of anyone unfortunate enough to read the smears you post.

    Have you no shame?
