Make sure its got at least a 4.3" super AMOLED screen with a resolution greater than 800x480 running Android or WPS.. and made by HTC if theyre still around. This will TRULY be an Iphone killer.

wifi doesnt count as 4g when it doesnt replace your current technology

You mean the 1st 4G phone in the U.S. that might have 2 to 3 more this year? That not 4G, T Mobile and AT&T have better speeds. Next year when the 4G phones come it will be the end of Sprint, just you wait.

Agreed... Sprint better build up that fake 4G network they have as fast as possible to lock in subs for 2yrs or they're done.

Only time will tell. That's why I have my hands in two different cookie jars. T-mobile and Sprint. Even though I feel like Sprint will succeed with their early jump on 4G.

You obviously don't do you research. LTE is only getting 4-5mbs with bursts of 12mbs. Wimax already achieves these speeds, so In fact your saying that LTE is not 4g either? Also just to clarify, 4g refers to the technology used, meaning 4th generation, not speed.

Well I agree with merkeke. According to the CTIA Wimax is not a 4G technology. Not only that but they only offer services in 2 cities hardly a network. Secondly Sprint doesn't even own any of the Wimax towers. They sold all of there network towers to a private investment company. Also for donjonson410 LTE is getting more like 25 - 30 mbps not 4-5 mbps. They stated that 4-5 mbps would be more real world. Second in Consumer reports annual cellphone review in January the wimax network was only producing speeds of about 2-3 mbps in real world use.
