To me it is unbelievable that a starter company (Clear not Clearwire) that is try to establish a reputation and implement a newer technology, would not make there system compatible with a major manufacturer like Nokia. Especially when Nokia tooled up to manufacture a product for them. Clear's website didn't show the Nokia N810 wimax as one of the devices that you can purchase from them but they implied that it worked by placing a Nokia logo on the site. When I purchased this from Nokia I make sure to ask the chat person if it was compatible with the Portland area wimax. I don't believe they intentionally sold me an incompatible item, so I hope the return will go smoothly. What I really want is this device to work. The sales people from Clear (a highly reputable group of individuals) checked with multiple tech support people from Clear and just last night one of the sales people called me back saying that the N810 wimax will not work on the Portland system. If anyone knows of anything different please reply to this before I send this back to Nokia.
