...I gues if you're not with Sprint, hearing about 4G this..and 4G that can be pretty ennoying... lol. As far as Palm getting into the wimax action... I thinks that could make a significant difference for them.

uuuuh... it's aready out in a handfull of markets. WIMAX hads not reached it's nationwide debut yet. at least wimax is out and has been since 2009. anyone used verizon or att's 4G yet? hahaha thought not.

No, the bigger networks dont have to advertise FIRST! on a developing technology thats not widespread yet. Lemme tell ya, when ATT or VZW flips that LTE switch on, your days on that Sero plan that you depend on so much are numbered. Sprint will eventually be taken over by VZW. But because WiMax not the 'popular' 4G techology, thats going to be a hard yellow/black pill for big red to swallow. http://www.phonearena.com/html

if the 4g is that much further behind att and verizons just like the 3g then its worth the wait. rushed technology is crap technology

What fairy tales are you refering to. WiMax is a 4G network that is already up in running in serveral markets, including Baltimore, Seatle, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Houston, just to name a few. Other than that its been unofficially launched in Washington D.C. This year its expected to launch in other major areas including New York and Boston. Sprint along with its partner Clearwire, have been releasing this and many devices that run on it. Currently only aircards and MiFis, but this year they will be releasing handsets as well. Wimax at its current standard offers speeds of up to 10Mbps and its latest standard which hasn't been implented yet will offer speeds of 100Mbps to compete wit LTE. Also there are many partners in the WiMax venture with Sprint and Clearwire. Google and Intel being 2 of the major ones. So again I don't know what fair tales you are refering to, but before you make stupid comments do a little research.

Learn to decipher sarcasm from text. Its important when reading people comments. btw, I just saw a pink unicorn fly by my window.

I didn't decipher sarcasm cause there wasn't any. People just can't stomach the fact the Sprint has released the first and only 4G Network and think that AT&T and Verizon are so superior. As far as Palm, I don't care for the company as a whole and never used one of their phones and don't intend to.

WiMax is no where near widespread. Boston ,NY, and all the other cities theyre supposedly expanding 4G out to.. talk is very cheap.

speaking of cheap talk, where is this supposed LTE??? Can you hear me now? goood.

VZW/ATT have not advertised that their networks are 4G.. Can YOU hear me now?

Just cuz they dont advertise FIRST! doesnt mean they're not ahead of Sprint. http://www.phonearena.com/html

27 markets to none tells it all, those 60 markets vzw vaguely alluded to will already be done by Sprint. Get off your knees

You on the other hand need to get on your knees and pray that Sprint survives the next 2 years on its own. Youll be drinking the VZW koolaid very soon. 1st 4G network.. hahaha

Explain to me what SERO has to do with LTE...

They may have been doing bad financially for a while, but they are not anymore, so what makes you suggest that they will now survive on their own, who is helping them now, nobody.
