If HTC had offered the EVO to VZW or ATT, do we seriously think they wouldn't have screw it up either?
ATT has too big of a monkee to carry with iPhone.
VZW is too restrictive with their network & no working 4G.
SPCS stepped up & became innovators but it's clear that 4G isn't for prime time in some places & that consumers aren't demanding faster mobile broadband either (as seen by the $10 issue).
But there are choices. Some people act like they don't have choices.

Its simple as this..going in with an EVO alone was fail...its not about the device..its about availability..they FAILED at it..they tried to go for the iPhone thing rather then doing whats best for their business..which would have been to release 2-3 wimax devices at the same time...you cant risk your ENTIRE business on 1 manufacture who has supply issues..not gonna work...
