We will be supporting on-board HSPA i.e. both HSDPA and HSUPA.

All we're seeing now is a pre-alpha of part of the new software. The new hardware won't be out for ages. Who knows? Six months, nine months, a year? There are going to be loads and loads more N810s sold before the new hardware comes out.
So enjoy your N810!

Roger

I am a new user of these nokia tablets.
3 weeks ago i finally bit the bullet and decided to buy the n810. IT cost me almost 500.00 after taxes
then a week and a half ago they release the wimax edition..
I go and i look at the nokia website for the tradeup program and all i can get for my tablet now is 120 american dollars.
Now i am reading on this board (which by the way is top notch) that the next version of the software will come out but will not be supported by the current tablets hardware..
Apart from the fact that i am loving every minute with the tablet, I can't help feeling dupped in everyway.. sure i might have been one of the last ppl reading these forums to purchase a nokia tablet , late , way late in the game but there has to be some understanding from the manufacturer.. If not a promise of future compatibility with the hardware , atleast one hell of a price break on thier "old and soon to be outdated hardware"...
as for the researching of this device .. i exhausted myself learning as much as possible on the features.. but never did i encounter a website , blog, review indicating that this hardware is about to become obsolete..

Did the content of my post say I did?If we're going to revile Nokia for not providing official support, we should at least do it accurately.

A new device does not make your current one cease to work.
New firmware does not cause your current OS to expire.
Since the N810WE just came out, it and the regular N810 can look forward to at least another year's official support and who-knows-how-much unofficial (community) support.
I have to say I am extremely frustrated with the abuse of the word "obsolete". I wish people would throttle down a bit.
EDIT: the proper term you're looking for is supersede(d). But don't worry; I used to work with documentation professionals who confused the two every day.

Show me where in the alpha SDK source is the code to read N800 battery level or to control charging of battery, , or please, please, please, stop this talk about "community porting Fremantle to N800/N810".

I've asked about that and was told that it will be possible to provide a binary to return the battery information for use in the Diablo-on-steroids/Fremantle effort.
