New Upgraded Nokia N810 With WiMAX Functionality Available in April? – Speculation Mounts

According to an apparently anonymous tip passed to BGR, Nokia’s much anticipated WiMAX capable N810 (touted as being the N830 by some) could be released this April – though we should stress that this is as yet unsubstanciated by Nokia.

The purported availability date of April 1st, apart from ringing all too obvious alarm bells, would just happen to see the WiMAX N810’s release coincide with CTIA cell phone expo held in the US, however, which could be taken to add some credence to the rumoured release date.

The upgraded variant of the Nokia N810 will see the original N810 Wi-Fi capabilities enhanced significantly with high-speed, wide area internet access and speculation is that any official announcement could be timed to coincide with news concerning the official debut of the Xohm 4G service from Sprint though neither company has acted to either confirm or deny such speculation. That said, Spirit are on record as stating that up to 10 devices, including a device from Nokia, would be available on the official launch of its WiMAX service.

Is the updated N810 this device? We’ll have to wait for confirmation, of course, but few would bet against it.
