Pretty much agree. WiMax is not capable of nearly the data speeds of LTE and is more expensive to deploy. Plus LTE integrates data/voice service, replacing separate 3G/GSM service. But WiMax is still separate from Sprint's CDMA voice service.
IOW, Sprint is screwing up again, investing in another incompatible, less capable technology. WiMax is a loser.
Nope, they're not screwing up. They're doing it purposely to once again vendor lock their customers. They don't want you to go to anyone else, so they're more or less ensuring that you don't without going through a lot of pain and suffering. Yes, it'll all backfire on them, but it's not a screwup. It's intentional.
Tissot: Ain't gonna happen. American companies think they're the **** and refuse to play by the same rules as everyone else, thus you won't see them adopt the same standard as ANYBODY else.
T-Mobile is actually Deutsche Telekom and it is the only big provider in USA for N900 3G. And it uses Europe frequencies in USA too.
