Nokia N810 WiMax... and?

N810-WME There's a whole lot of talk about the announcement of Nokia's new WiMax edition of their N810 Internet Tablet. My question is: so what?

Did I miss something? Has WiMax been deployed to any great extent? Sure, there's been a lot of plans, the most notable coming from Sprint. But even their intentions now seem to be unclear.

I have a Nokia N810 and I do love it. But unless the new edition replaces the old one on store shelves, for the same money, I don't see the point. The standard N810 connects to any WiFi hotspot or uses my (Sprint) cell phone's EVDO connection via Bluetooth for internet access.

It seems to me, by the time WiMax is deployed to any great degree, the N810 will probably be phased out. So what's all the noise about?
