I do have one question, and it actually is not about the OS2008 upgrade… It’s just the little thing I see every day and then: People always talk about the N-Series. That’s a good thing and it has a right point, N-series kinda rule the scene.

But is it because they are the best phones ever, or is it because Nokia has just forgotten their _other_ phones in their lust for more sales?

I’m not very comfortable with the fact that the word Nokia (or even Symbian) brings an N-series phone (actually an N95 or N95 8GB) in mind.

And, while Nokia might be blown up on their dreams of market, bloggers and news-sites should ask “Where the hell did your other phone sets disappear?”

Viipottaja, I think by OTA Nokia means over the internet, which is the air after all, or the cloud, or whatever people are calling it now. This software update requires an internet connection, so it’s not just over cell providers.

Isn’t there a difference between OTA and over the internet? I.e. N810 would probably have to be connected to the internet through WiFI for such updates, whereas over the air over cell providers data network is probably quite something different technology wise.

@Dotsisx, sadly California doesn’t have a Nokia flagship store. We did at one point have Nokia Experience Centers but turned out to be just a tease as you can only play with the handsets but not able to purchase through them. They’ve closed down those booths.

I’ll have to read up more on WiMax. Bu I’m really tempted to order one from the NokiaUsa site even though its $479 which was $430 something just last week.

Dee, I don’t know a lot about CA, but I think there is a Nokia flagship store somewhere there and you should be able to find an N810 there. As for the WiMax/notWimax thing, I think the best thing is to look and see if Sprint plans to deploy WiMax in your region, if they do, then my advice is to go for the WiMax one, as this should allow a 24/7 connectivity.
