Nokia’s only retail WiMAX product is no more. The N810 WiMAX tablet, which could be used with the Clear WiMAX networks in Portland, OR and Baltimore, MD, has reached the end of its life, Nokia spokeswoman Lauren Butler said.


“The Nokia N810 WiMAX Edition has reached the expected end of its lifecycle. We will continue to follow the WiMAX network development and new product development decisions will be considered based on the evolution of the business,” she said in an e-mail.


The N810 was the only handheld that worked on Clearwire’s Clear WiMAX network (formerly known as XOHM, and formerly run by Sprint.) With the N810 gone, users’ only option for hooking up to WiMAX comes in the form of PC modems.
