Sprint unveils WiMAX expansion cities, devices for 2009 and 2010

The XOHM label may be gone, but the potency of Sprint's WiMAX network is still kickin' in and around Baltimore. For those itching for wicked fast mobile broadband outside of The Charm City, Sprint has just unveiled a slew of expansion areas that'll get gifted in 2009 and 2010. As for the rest of this year, folks in Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Ft. Worth, Honolulu, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, Portland and Seattle can expect Sprint 4G rollouts, while residents of Boston, Houston, New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. can be on the lookout in 2010. In related news, the carrier is also taking this opportunity to reveal that it has "several new 4G devices planned for 2009 and 2010, including a single-mode 4G data card, embedded laptops, a small-office-home-office broadband modem and a tri-mode phone." Lovely.

So, any word on what 4G phones may be in the offering?

Any chance the Pre would be 4G??????? (or any idea when it's coming out)?

I'm trying to figure out where the "Clear" brand is in all of this.

Sprint, Clearwire, Time Warner Cable, ComCast have all "partnered" to put this out. I think you'll be hearing a lot more about this in the coming year with a full on push in 2010 and 2011.

(I work for one of these companies. As of right now there is a plan.)

All i can say is that i use this around baltimore as i travel and do a lot of work out of the car and the service rocks. I wish they would turn on DC as i lose the signal going down 95 but then it goes to the EVDO Rev a and works just fine. If they can get this deployed with some pda's or VOIP phones next year this will open up another whole opportunity as i use this in my house when i get home and the service and signal is great. We would love to have this in our office which is just outside baltimore as we are paying like $400 for T1, this blows away my T1 speed. Sprint just needs to get on the ball marketing this product.
