But back OT... nope, no LTE ever. At least not on currently available sprint devices.

People are eating up bandwidth from the main hub with 4g and thats slowing your 3g? lol..but either way sprint will deploy LTE in same spetrum..so you wont get more penetration with sprint...only thing it might get is more spectrum as sprint is using 10/30mhz they have..
Also forgot to mention verizon is using 20mhz for raw speed..hence why they going tiered...it wont support a lot of capacity unless they get more spectrum.

Yes..TD-LTE and wimax are VERY similar..but unfortunately the upgrade is going to be for the towers themselves...not the devices...aka they add a small box and that makes their Wimax->LTE...on your side..there is nothing that can be done without adding hardware...which isn't practical..
