FYI

Don't think I'd want top pay another $10 / month for 4G though..

I suspect that Sprint in the next few years will give WiMax the flick and join the LTE camp..

"even a straight-up speed test (4Mbps down, 1Mbps up"

I've seen plenty of people get those speeds (and much higher) on HSPA+.

phone looks pretty sweet though.

It annoys me when people talk about current LTE and WiMAX networks as being 4G when they're not. Right now there are no commercial networks anywhere in the world that meet the specs for a 4G network (1Gbps)

Very true. Also they seem to be hybrid networks as well where the voice is carried over CDMA or GSM rather that SIP client which I think is part of LTE etc. Feel free to advise Steve if I'm not correct..
