While it's extremely unlikely they will go CDMA due to the higher costs you are really misinformed when it comes to CDMA networks.

Brazil, China, and India all have massive CDMA customer bases and networks.

Wimax was at that level in freaking 2005 man... there will be no mass rollout next year, 2011 will be LTE's year, but not before, mark my words.

@r34p3r
How is LTE where it's at when it's not out of the lab?

22nm processors, the Radeon 6970, and 5TB hard drives are also where it's at.

You enjoy your future technology, I'll enjoy my 6Mb/s wireless downloads with peaks of 13Mb/s.

Haha you're making this claim in the middle of December... hilarious.

You do know that at this time last year the Pre, Pixi, Hero, Moment, Tour, and TP2 were all unknowns and Sprint had those. Just because T-Mo leaks like a sieve doesn't mean Sprint is asleep.

@TheCodexAlera
Just because Sprint isn't leaking what they're doing in 2010 doesn't mean awesome plans aren't in the works.

Just wait...

That's how RIM differentiates their products from each other.

Wifi, Bluetooth, Camera, Camera Flash, and 3G. Pick two, maybe three and you've got yourself a new phone!

@trainwrecka
If people don't need 3G data but are paying for it then they are tilting the scale in Att's favor (i.e. less likely to use it but are paying the same as anyone else).

It's the people that really need 3G data (and thus are more likely to hit the network hard) that are their problem.

Their business model assumes a bunch of people are paying and hardly using it, as all cellular business models do.

@digitalh
And the same thing on the powerline issue. People concerned about high voltage lines (from a field emissions perspective) don't understand physics.

1- The fields fall off 1/R^2 so by the time it gets more than a few feet away the field strength is negligible.

2- The radiation of said fields is non-ionizing and is just as likely to cause cancer as lightning, cell towers, wifi routers, microwave ovens, vacuum cleaners, or cordless drills. (i.e. impossible as the particles don't have enough energy to cause cellular damage vs. the typical high energy ionizing radiation seen in things like solar flares or nuclear blasts).

@digitalh
It's not an issue because it's inductive charging. There is no E-field, it's purely an H-field (magnetic).

Unless you're worried about the Earth's magnetic field you really shouldn't be worried about this.
