Windows Phone 7 'Arrives' at Sprint with HTC Phone
No WiMAX? No FFC?

Sprint can't even keep the light son on that network.
lol true I forgot about that.
that being said, I don't really blame sprint for this. More than likely, Microsoft didn't make WindowsPhone7 wimax capable yet. Heck, it took them months to get it to work with CDMA.
As far as 4G...
It was never intended to have WiMax.
This thing is being released in March...
The Blackberry 4G is getting released this summer...
Somehow I don't think WiMax is exactly dead just yet...
Let's be realistic here. Most smartphone features on any platform perform exceptionally well on 3G networks. I have the EVO Shift and I rarely use 4G unless I'm hooking up the laptop(I've even used the ps3 on it). But I don't need that kind of speed for 99.9% of my daily smartphone ...

It doesn't really matter who's fault it is, it should be a prerequisite to include the feature.But, I tend to believe Menno on his insight. Sprint is committed to bringing WiMAX to as many devices as possible. Win7 is a virgin OS that is just now coming to light. I believe their focus is on mass marketing rather than concentrating on sticking in options for one carrier.

Yes. Most phones do work fine on 3G. However, I think it is a mistake for a carrier that has a substantial amount of 4G coverage in comparison, to leave out the 4G connectivity. This was my bone of contention with the Samsung Tab. Everyone was offering a tab, why leave out a key feature that differentiates it from the rest. Same with this Win7 phone.

I am a diehard Sprint subscriber and supporter, but it is important to realize mistakes. The Tab having an omission of WiMAX was a mistake and so is this phone. I have ins...

I'm also a huge Sprint fan, but I am also a realist.
MS: So, what are the plans for WiMax expansion in 2011?
Sprint: *cricket chirp*
MS: So, 3G it is!
It's not that Sprint's 4G isn't an awesome service. I love it. However they have yet to even announce one single expansion for 2011. If you are looking for more than a handful of WiMax devices in 2011 I think you are going to be disappointed.
The consistency should have nothing to do with offering 3G only. A user can choose 3G or move on to 4G radio on demand. In this case, 3G is not compromised having a 4G radio.
Like I said in my last post, 4G is now an engaging term for many consumers. My friend is a regional rep and has heard the complaints. The Tab received much attention and yet sold few due to lack of 4G. MS should be more interested in what consumers are looking at rather than what Clearwire has in It's intentions. This is a catch22 situation. Selling a new OS to consumers is tough. It is going to take marketing.
I can picture Sprint subs or perspective subs interested in a Win7 phone...

Is that something that will change in the future? If Sprint launches a nationwide 4G network, I would definitely think so.
As far as the "presentation"... It's pretty obvious that even though Sprint was first with 4G, they are per...
