Well I honestly have Wi-Fi access about 85% of the time. For the rest, I just use Opera Mini. That's such a fast little browser that I don't really notice too bad (when I use it).

And I'm not sure if I understood you right, but if you were asking if this HD could ever work with WiMax because it might need a new radio...I don't think it would work. Since this phone is GSM.

2 Questions though:

I have heard a lot of stuff about WiMax being GSM. Is it GSM and CDMA, or just one or the other or....what? confused...

Is there anyway to use this phones WCDMA bands to work w/ Sprint that anyone knows of lol? I'm 95% sure the answer is no, but still thought I'd ask.
