Nokia Announces the N810 WiMax Handheld

Nokia showed off its N810 WiMax Edition, a mobile computing device with slide-out keyboard and 4.13" screen.  The new WiMax Edition will come equipped with web browsing, powered by Mozilla, and will even support a number of VoIP services, such as Skype.

 

I don't quite know how to react.  Sure, the N810 WiMax Edition can make calls using a VoIP (Voice over Internet Provider) client, but it doesn't seem to have a dedicated phone function in the same way that a BlackBerry or an iPhone does.  Also, if the screen is 4.13" that seems like it would make the N810 a little, well, large to be comfortably used as a phone on a day-to-day basis.  As we, and the washington Post, have commented before, does anyone really have room for another device to carry around with them?

 

Personally, I see WiMax like any other type of wireless data.  I think that the implementation would make a lot more sense if it was treated like EVDO or EDGE - just a faster connection to embed in high-end phones (and eventually not-so-high-end ones) and aircards.  I'm sort of thinking that anyone who would really be enticed by the N810 is probably taking their laptop with them everywhere, and the N810 can't compete with that kind of power.  A WiMax aircard, however, would let the user take their laptop online on the go, without the need for a stand-alone unit fo rmobile browsing.

WiMax has a huge potential to revolutionize the way we look at a wireless internet connection and has the power to allow people to replace their wired internet with it.  I feel like having a device whose comrades have floundered in the States (yes, i'm bringing up the Mylo again) as the flagship ambassador of WiMax is a bad idea.  Why not talk to RIM about bowing a WiMax BB8800 series?  Or preview a BB9000 with WiMax?

 

Currently, Sprint has a soft-launch WiMax network running in Chicago, DC and Baltimore.  They'r eexpecting nationwide rollout this year and are, in cooperation with Clearwire, looking for outside funds from Comcast, Time Warner and Google, to name a few.

Accessorize Your Cocktail Dress - Petite women will want to follow some simple guidelines when it comes to accessorizing their cocktail dresses, as well. One key is to avoid larger accessories, such as big purses or handbags. Instead, stick to a smaller handbag.

By Lady Gaga Birkin Bag on July 14, 2010 12:19 AM

My clothing tips for very thin women - Trousers or pants with thicker material is a good option like linen, jeans, cotton, woolen pants for winter season. Cargos is also a good option.

By Sigafus Fashion Clothes on July 26, 2010 2:56 AM

Some like to have a simple pair of flip-flops: the pair that's ever-so basic, but so comfortable that you virtually wish to sleep with them on! These are the pair that you can just get away with wearing with any outfit at all. It doesn't matter whether you are in your swimming suit, shorts or perhaps jeans or pants in the evening; they answer for every occasion.

Trust me on this, if you ignore the fact that you brought a Manolo Blahnik Replica at an economical price range, you would not be able to spot a single difference between the replica and the original. That's the magic of replica creation.

By Leather Platform Pumps on August 22, 2010 5:18 AM

As designer Manolo Blahnik is a sparkling star in the sky of fashion and trend. Because his shoes will allure your personality once you wear them. You will find yourself as a new person living in your life. Things will seem to be better.

At the same time they are able to create that wonderful classic minimalist look about them. The right mix of luxury and minimal charm.

By Knee on August 25, 2010 6:36 AM

This article is all about blogging for business; by including a few mentions of it and including "blogging for business" in the URL, it's likely to score highly when people search for that term.

By zero cost commissions review on August 26, 2010 3:58 PM

Actually definitely great web site publish which has received me considering. I by no means looked at this out of your stage of look at.
