don't mean to change the topic but i'm trying to connect to wimax here in portland, OR. i'm reading it's available for testing but i'm wondering how i'd be able to connect or even check if there's wimax availability in my location. i tried creating a new connection under connectivity settings and i select wimax, after a long search it doesn't find anything. any other way to connect to wimax?

I wonder if they are testing the WiMAX system like they are doing in these other areas or are they close testing it?
What device are you using to try to connect?
From my understanding that would be Clearwires area as well. Awaiting a reply!

I'm pretty positive some other cities are testing, i'm wondering if the n810 would be able to detect the wimax networks sort of like detecting wifi networks?

@Mister Ecua
Awesome post! I'm just as excited as you are!
Promethh has been keeping me updated daily on his adventures into WiMAX.
Post more info lets get speed tests! What device are you using?
Oh, and I have an N810 WiMAX Edition...

The N810 can sniff out WiMAX networks (XOHM only I presume or whatever frequency XOHM is running on). If your in a test area, you may be able to join for a short period of time before getting booted, to stay on, you MAC address has to be registered as a tester.

Agreed, since there are WiMax networks elsewhere in the US and abroad that use 3.2 & 3.5 GHz. But it seems there aren't any multi-frequency WiMax chips... yet.

Most of the posters (Mister Ecua, Gonzo1082, Promethh, PunterJoe) are in test areas, and I would hope they are in the understanding as such.
