in fact, given the ease with which the N800N810 can be tethered to an
EVDO or HSDPA capable mobile handset, my own biggest complaint has been
with my electron guzzling mobile phone which lasts all of ~20 minutes
when running with the EVDO turned on and tethered to the N810.

3G is UMTS (or WCDMA); HSDPA is sometimes called 3.5G.
In the UK, O2 only use HSDPA for their 3G service, apparently. When
you buy an iPhone with them, they mumble about their 3G actually being
rated faster than normal 3G and make excuses about the naming convention
I'm definitely in the minority in looking to have multiple things rather
than a single device which would do it all. there are routers you can buy
(MiFi - http://jkontherun.com/2008/12/09/novatel-mifi-c/) though I want the
radio in the unit. Depending on the second device for connectivity just
beating dead horsePutting in an 802.16e compatible chipset makes the
most sense for the tablet's target market. What the original poster is
arguing for is that Nokia should be using the maemo platform as a smart
phone platform a la Android, the stripped down ARM port of OS X used in
the iPhone,
I can't believe Nokia is so dumb. The software stack in the N800 /
N810 is stable, proven, and time-tested.
So why can't they release a N810 with embedded GSM/EDGE radio? All
that is needed is a phone dialer applet.
Of course, a premium version could add 3G, but for me to check GMail
on the go,
There's certainly been debate on the topic as some people prefer the option
rather than being forced to have it but I would love it. An always-on
pocket computer is exactly what I want ... and have wanted for a long time.

It would make the device far too expensive for its market. The cogs on
the radio device would add to the base cost. There would be different

for GSM/EDGE. That homologation for manufacturing would add additional
costs. The
well - Nokia is definitely starting to roll out tri-band hsdpa devices which
makes this much easier to deal with. I'm still excited by the idea of a 3G
capable tablet.

W/ bluetooth tethering and the WiMax addition, it is obvious to me that
Nokia is attempting to get there. And by there - an always connected
web tablet. The next device will likely have the space for 3G.
The thing to recognize is that at least in the US, it is a

It's often suggested it would be too costly or logistically difficult,
but there are smaller companies that are at least trying something
similar.
One more aside... as far as I could tell, Nokia was only showing off
symbian devices at their CES booth.
