Thats a good question, i would imagine that since wimax is still being rolled out, that it would be included in the simply everything plan. although, if they did charge extra for a 4g phone/plan, then maybe only the markets with wimax will be able to buy these phones.

I have no clue if there will be a different price plan but I hightly doubt it. Think of it like this air cards are already out that can do wimax and they are the same monthly price as the evdo rev a aircards.

The reason I had said that is because of the air cards like you stated.

Yea I know what you are saying they have two plans same price but one is only for 3g access and the other is for both 3g/4g.

Which to me make so sense at all since they are the same price you would think the 3g/4g access would be just a tad higher in price. Well it is going to be interesting to see how they handle the price on 3g/4g acesss for phones that can do both, I hope it just stays the same and when the phone is in a 4g area... a person can use the 4g data with no extra charge.

Re: Whats coming from Sprint?

If you look at the plan for the Sprint Overdrive, it's the same as the plan for the 3g only devices.

Re: Whats coming from Sprint?

I've been on sprint for a while.. Started with a Moto Q running WM5... then moved to a touch Pro on WM 6.1... after 9 months with that POS phone I got sprint to give me a TP2 as a replacement (with LOTS of complaining... and driving 2 hours to the nearest "official" sprint store)

anyway.. im on this TP2 now... I've ran the stock rom for a while.. then tried various roms out there until I stuck with good ol mighty rom.. but I gotta say. im geting so SICK of the damn windows Mobile lag! Mighty Mike has done the best he can do with WM 6.5, but its a flawed product.. im hoping they address these problems with WM7, if not, I think "microsoft phone" is done for. (I honestly can't wait for an android 2.1 device... I'd think about selling mt TP2 and getting a samsung Moment.. but I don't want to sign my contract until something awesome comes out)

I see all these new phones come out, but they are ALL for AT&T and Verizon (and SOME for T-Mobile.. but no sprint!)

who cares how awesome your "now network" is if there arn't an good phones to take advantage of it?
