Today Clear said in an interview with Phone Scoop that it does not expect any WiMax-equipped smartphones to hit the market until the very end of 2010.

It did indicate that any phone-type device that has mobile WiMax on board would use either a VoIP application or Sprint's CDMA network for voice calls.
