The article clearly states a comparison between Verizons EVDO network and Wimax, Sprint already has EVDO handsets and cards that are upgradable to Rev-B, C, D etc. Example, the Mogul which was EVDO Rev-O can now be upgraded to Rev-A. EVDO radios are already in place, It's just a software upgrade that is needed.]]>Oct 2nd 2008 1:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/xohm-wimax-tested-in-baltimore-does-work-in-cars/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/xohm-wimax-tested-in-baltimore-does-work-in-cars/Oct 2nd 2008 9:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/xohm-wimax-tested-in-baltimore-does-work-in-cars/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/xohm-wimax-tested-in-baltimore-does-work-in-cars/]]>Oct 1st 2008 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/xohm-wimax-tested-in-baltimore-does-work-in-cars/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/xohm-wimax-tested-in-baltimore-does-work-in-cars/
(ahem, NYC. Almost every single NYC cab is running a Sprint EVDO card for the back seat 'entertainment and credit card consoles', it just seems logical to move them to WiMax eventually)]]>Oct 1st 2008 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/xohm-wimax-tested-in-baltimore-does-work-in-cars/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/xohm-wimax-tested-in-baltimore-does-work-in-cars/Oct 1st 2008 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/xohm-wimax-tested-in-baltimore-does-work-in-cars/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/xohm-wimax-tested-in-baltimore-does-work-in-cars/
I've been pulling for Dan Hesse since he seems like a nice enough guy in his commercials. Hopefully excellent services will make up for the staff of Lemmings Sprint employs. ]]>Oct 1st 2008 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/xohm-wimax-tested-in-baltimore-does-work-in-cars/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/xohm-wimax-tested-in-baltimore-does-work-in-cars/
Those commercials of his are pure genius in my opinion. And they make me want Sprint to succeed.

If they can get the Touch HD with 3G on their network I'd be signing up for another 2 year contract quicker than you can say WiMax!]]>Oct 1st 2008 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/xohm-wimax-tested-in-baltimore-does-work-in-cars/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/xohm-wimax-tested-in-baltimore-does-work-in-cars/Oct 1st 2008 10:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/xohm-wimax-tested-in-baltimore-does-work-in-cars/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/xohm-wimax-tested-in-baltimore-does-work-in-cars/Oct 1st 2008 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/xohm-wimax-tested-in-baltimore-does-work-in-cars/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/xohm-wimax-tested-in-baltimore-does-work-in-cars/
Anyhow, the reason they're emphasizing that it works in cars is on account of the recent testing with Clearw're's "WiMAX" system (unclear whether it is 802.16d, or even not WiMAX at all) in Reno, which did not work in cars.

See http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/wimax-tested-in-reno-doesnt-work-in-cars/

The point of this news is that "XOHM WiMAX", not just "WiMAX", works in cars, since some competing implementations don't.]]>Oct 1st 2008 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/xohm-wimax-tested-in-baltimore-does-work-in-cars/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/xohm-wimax-tested-in-baltimore-does-work-in-cars/Oct 1st 2008 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/xohm-wimax-tested-in-baltimore-does-work-in-cars/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/xohm-wimax-tested-in-baltimore-does-work-in-cars/Oct 1st 2008 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/xohm-wimax-tested-in-baltimore-does-work-in-cars/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/xohm-wimax-tested-in-baltimore-does-work-in-cars/Oct 1st 2008 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/xohm-wimax-tested-in-baltimore-does-work-in-cars/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/xohm-wimax-tested-in-baltimore-does-work-in-cars/
despite the promises of the potentials of 3G, I cannot get better than a few 10k bytes per second on any 3G provider, and I'm in good signal coverage. Sure, the local link might be megabits, but the backhaul provision by the operators is wholly inadequate!

Clearwire does not have or operate Wi-Max in Reno yet. Clearwire is operating their 5 year old technology called "Expedience" which is basically a pre-WiMax technology which has a maximum speed of 2.0 mbps down and 256 kbps up. Actually, when Clearwire deploys WiMax in Reno and in its other existing markets, I understand the speeds will be comparable to Sprint's XOHM. That is the reason why there is going to be a New Clearwire once the joint venture between Clearwire, Sprint, Time Warner, Comcast, Google, Intel and Bright Star goes through before the end of the year.

I think we all might be more interested in seeing the speeds of WiMax once tens of thousands of customers are simutaneously sharing the network. Then tell me the throughput speeds and we can and should compare them to the current 3G networks which incidently all work in the top 300 or so markets nationwide and in the case of Sprint and Verizon, on interstate highways, in rural areas and more.

If you want to impress me, give me that comparison and show me how this product is more of a value than the $59.99 per month I am paying Verizon so I can use my modem nationwide.
