Nokia N810 WiMAX Edition taken out behind the woodshed, shot
CrunchGear —
Linguo, dead? Linguo… IS… dead. Replace "Linguo" with the Nokia N810 WiMAX Edition, though. Nokia’s just pulled the plug on the device, according to MobileBurn, citing "slow WiMAX roll out in the USA as well as an issue with current WiMAX switches in use not offering optimal performance" as the precipitators for the internet tablet’s demise.
While it’s true that WiMAX adoption has been slow, it may also be possible that nobody bought the N810 WiMAX Edition with its $450+ MSRP. Don’t get me wrong, I like Nokia’s internet tablets but for ...

IntoMobile - Cell Phone News, Information, and Analysis —
Nokia (NYSE: NOK) has apparently discontinued its WiMAX-ready N810 Internet Tablet device. From what we’ve heard, the Finnish giant asked distributors to send any remaining stock back. The reasons behind this move are slow WiMAX roll-out in the States, as well as an issue with current WiMAX switches, which don’t offer optimal performance.
