I'm already in a 4G city, and coverage is great near my house and work (according to Clear's coverage map), so I'm ready for the Evo.

I have also been reading that Sprint plans to launch Wimax in a bunch of cities at the same time they launch the Evo. So if your city is on the list to get Wimax this year, it will probably happen when the Evo is launched in a few weeks.

I care more about good 4G coverage than I do about the crappy voice coverage around here. I hardly ever talk on the phone anyway, but I use data all the time. Fortunately, I have read that there are a lot more 4G towrs in my area than 3G towers, so 4G reception should be better.

I fully expect simultaneous voice and data in a 4G area, but I don't know how it will handle good 4G reception in an area where you are roaming on voice.

I remember hearing something about Clearwire and Walmart... hmmm... now what was it that they said? Oh yeah, I remember now! You can read the (very well written) story here. It was definitley a only rumor back in January, and nothing was ever confirmed, so I highly doubt that it ever happened.

Did I already mention that I really like the article that was written? Man, that guy has talent...
