probably using the Overdrive or some other 4G aircard however it isn't exactly fair to compare a phone against an aircard

seems the guy in the CNN video thinks "4G" means 4x faster..perhaps he doesn't know it means 4th gen. these reporters typically read off a script and are clueless most of the time.. just like how he mentions google is loading a "live feed from the satellite" while trying the Evo. someone should tell him they're just old catched images loading from google's server.  |
yes those guys are clueless.
and yeah i'd imagine sprint does have speed capped until full deployment but the spec on WiMax is that it is capable of 75Mbps up and 75Mbps down so eventually it'll be a lot faster
