I've since been upgraded to Clear's WiMax and it's great. It's exactly as advertised. I've used it from multiple locations in the Pacific Northwest and have had no problems. Not sure how it'd work in a more... mobile since but I'm waiting on an android wimax enabled handset to find out. So hurry up Sprint!

I'm already disappointed in how long it is taking. I could care less about WiMax, I mean, for what? As a computer modem it makes sense, but on a phone? Do texts get through before you are done typing them? Playing WOW? I don't think so. Seriously, WiMax is a move in the right direction for wireless speeds but at this point, JUST GIVE ME MY ANDROID PHONE! - Frustrated I sure hope Spring isn’t waiting for WiMax to put out their Android handset.

However, I thought it would be for the Korean WiBro market. HTC was rumored to be the supplier for Sprint's tri-mode phone (WiMAX, WiFi, CDMA) In an interview with GCT Semiconductor that was posted on wimax.com, I reported that Samsung was probably working on an Android based WiMAX MID or smart phone.

Rather compare it to 3G/EDGE speed. Also, WiMax can be configured to run at a slower speed with the gain of further distance, so you may be connecting to a long distance tower.
