Sprint to Risk $20 Billion on Apple iPhone
Does this mean i can finally have 4G
i've been with Sprint for more than a decade and really couldn't care less about this device. i want to fully utilize my network connection for which i'm "paying a premium".

Sadly, the answer is probably no for the forseeable future. First, I doubt Apple will build a WiMax iPhone. More importantly, Clear's rollout has ground to a halt. Sprint's made some announcements that indicate a change in 4G direction, but that's going to take time to implement.
I live in Nassau County, one of the largest suburban areas of New York City, and it doesn't appear WiMax is coming any time soon. I'm eligible for a new phone, but I don't see the point right now. It will add $10 to my bill for no added benefit if I want to continue with Android. Sprint completely blew the lead they had and will be once again be playing catch up.

WiMax is dead.With the announced shift to LTE(finally!)why would,or should, Sprint continue throwing money into a network it's leaving behind.What might be possible is for Sprint's version of the iPhone to be using EVDO Rev.B for data.EVDO Rev.B is already equipped on the newer high-end Android devices Sprint has.Rev.B is roughly the CDMA equivalent of GSM's HSPA+. Sprint's EVDO Rev.B and AT&T's HSPA+ data networks should be fast enough to hold their customers over until their LTE network expansions can close the gap with Verizon.
