Re: N810 with GSM radio

["Jonathan Greene" <atmasphere@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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 drains two batteries

Jonathan,

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.

Clearly it would be better to carry only one piece of electronics vs two but, if I can solve this power consumption problem by upgrading to a new mobile handset I will be satisfied with a 2 device solution.

Maybe there is a market for a fairly simple  layer 1 pocket device (evdo/hsdpa/LTE/WIMAX modem + a big battery) that also supports bluetooth for tethering to whatever smart device the user has on hand.

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.

   I can't believe Nokia is so dumb. The software stack in the N800 /

   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, EDGE is just fine.

   Thoughts? Comments? Expletives?
