Does that means there will be no new towers installed in areas like Indianapolis. Guess we will get pushed to the back of the line for the LTE service as well.

this has been beaten to death already. it is very unlikely any new towers will be added... and certainly not in an area where this is no wimax at all. a few towns might see some new protection sites but thats about it.
wimax will work until at least 2015... so you have 3 full years to get some use out of it when you can.
I could be wrong but I don't think clearwire is done with wimax yet.
Although they do it at a turtles pace they are still expanding last I saw.

clear wire is also switching to lte as well. sprint gave them millions of dollar to help them switch over. clearwire is also ditching the efforts of wimaxes..
i just hope sprint is quick about lte rollouts. with lightsquare not being able to produce lte for sprint, they need to be quick with an alternatives
Thanks for the response, really what to use the 4g I get teased with it constantly while traveling and can't seem to find clear answers on news relating to these things
Clearwire will do some maintenance and minor additions here or there (to fulfill license requirements), but there will be no more major expansion. The existing Wimax network will be continued until at least 2015. Beginning in 2013, Clearwire's LTE network will be turned on in key cities to supplement Sprint's LTE network.

I'm just asking here, didn't they say they are not making anymore wiimax phones?
If they aren't making any more phones what incentive do they have to make more wiimax towers?
*My own opinion Damn it*

correct, no more wimax phones. there is no incentive to add any more towers. if any towers do go up they will be protection sites. altho according to the following site explaining protection sites... they were to be finished by 2011

but as i said before.. if you arent in a wimax area now.. you wont be getting it. those who are in a coverage area.. enjoy it until 2015. unlimited 4mbps(on avg) mobile internet is pretty rad.
Correct me if I'm wrong, clearwire is already an established lte provider?
So it wouldn't be long until we have good lte coverage?
Yes, no lol

Clearwire does not have enough money to make the capital expenditures (which is why 4G Wimax was halted). Instead, beginning in 2013, Clearwire's LTE network will be turned on in key cities ("hotspots") to supplement Sprint's LTE network.
This news really effing pisses me off. I buy this phone hopeing that in a year or a few months from now that 4g would come to my city. And they just say "Oh well, sorry, we are not going to do that bit anymore"?

Because Sprint is awesome. Bask in its awesomeness! Bask! Bask, I tell you!
In all seriousness, what is Sprint to do? They are now in the position that they need to change to LTE for its 4G technology. WiMax is dying. For those of us who bought WiMax devices before we had WiMax service (me included), we took a risk. It didn't pay off.
Given the position Sprint currently is in, they are doing the right things. Network Vision and LTE.

What is Sprint to do? How about offering early upgrades to an LTE phone without penalties?
And I did not take a risk, I signed a contract. Contacts exist to negate risk. I also asked them if 4g would be available in a specific area and they said yes. Now they say no. This change happened in a matter of months. Sprint took a risk and more they are pushing the cost of that failed risk on to its customers.
All I know is when they get 4g lte in an area I live in I will tell them that my 4g will not connect and have then replace it with an lte phone.
Wimax is not dieing, sprint is killing it. Big difference.

I like that idea of lte upgrades with no penalty. However i highly doubt they will go for it cause they need you to fullfill a 2yr contract to cover the cost of the highly marked down hand sets included in a 2yr contract. It would be soo sick though if they executed your idea! Why arnt people mad like you are ( other guys post not you crzchn) is for differeny reaons. I beleive most people if not all have the right to be and most should be. But for some one like me ( lives in hawaii) i bought this device knowing it woulsnt see 4g for years if ever. So i was already under the impression that i wouldnt get it so im not dissapointed. Even though the reps said i would get it i knew better than he did. I look forward to ICS because it wont be restricted to location since the net is everywhere. That is a realistic possibility im happy for. Besides my island is so tiny that there arnt lots of people hogging the towers so i average 1Mb/sec

Given how iit takes nearly a year for sprint to make money on each consumer as they take a huge hit oon every phone they discount, and how they are hurting for money as is... not happening. We knew that wimax was dying for nearly a year now, no news there. At least Sprint still allows unlimited data, as well as no BS fees like Verizon. Not to mention they are doing major upgrades to our network, specifically 3g.

It depends on where you are. I just came from Verizon and I am very happy with T-mobile and my GS2. The coverage is not as wide spread as what I am used to but it works just as well or better most of the places I go to.
Holy crapolie dude, i recently switched from sprint to tmobi and it was the best thing i have ever done. On sprint i was getting max 600kbps 3g, no wimax ever in my area, on tm avg 12 but have maxed 18fmbs, thats freaking megabits yo.
Galaxy s2 on tm is ok, dumb processor is not as good as exynos but with a good rom and kernel its very good. I get better reception with tm over sprint even. Im in palm springs ca area. I run juggernaut 4.1 rom with faux123 kernel, very happy.

Good to hear from switchers like me. I live in southeast Michigan near Ohio so coverage from Sprint can be spotty. As long as I can get even or better service without paying more, I'm willing to switch. My only fear is I'm switching my family into a worse carrier...how reliable is the coverage map on their website?
And regarding phone, I'm coming from an HTC and I'm getting tired of Sense. Haha.

I had the Evo4g on sprint recently before this phone. Note my location because my experiences are because of that....
voice reception is so much better on t-mobile. I love being able to send texts on the subway underneath center city, something you can't dream on doing with sprint. When it comes to data..... T-mobile disappoints me. I NEED to use wifi in my house. My evo4g I had full 3g/4g signal. In the rest of the city I find so many data holes its ridiculous. When I do have a data signal I much prefer wimax over hspa. Note I don't have hspa+ service here for some god knows why reason.
If I had good coverage and service I'd love t-mobile and some areas have that but honestly if they don't improve in my area I'm going to terminate my contract when the next generation of phones are released.
I want hspa+ or LTE
I switched from Sprint to Tmo back in August. I was with Sprint for over a year, and from the first day I complained about NO service whatsoever in my own house. Sprint pretty much kept calling me a liar and that I had perfect service, even when I resorted to using my house phone just to make calls.
Then, in August last year, Sprint decided they wanted to up the Administrative Fee to $1.50 and, per their terms and conditions, I can NOT agree to it and have my ETFs waived, and so I did. In a last ditch effort, they decided that they could waive the charge for the Air Rave, after I had complained to them from day one about the dropped calls, and even asked for them to send me an Air Rave for free (which many people in the EVO forums had theirs for free), but at that point, the last nail was already in the coffin, and said my final goodbyes.
Originally got my wife and I both LG G2X's for free (last day they were free, online anyway). Then I added my friend on, got an SGS II for his line, and gave him my G2X. With the APN workaround, good coverage, all is smooth sailing over here in Tmo-land. =D

Mhm, HSPA+ blows anything out from other carriers IMO. I don't much care for LTE until battery life is similar or better than that on a HSPA+ enabled carrier.

This I can sort of relate with since I was in Philly for about a week or so. 3G speeds were always above 1.5Mbps and WiMax was even better. I really loved the speeds and if only Sprint had speeds I was getting in Philly around where I live...One can dream right?
Anyways, I think I'm dead set on moving my family to T-Mobile. What is this forum's opinion on the new Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G? If that's coming out soon, then I may just skip on this one and go for the slightly newer one...

So more or less the same thing that happened when T-MO released the Galaxy S 4G as opposed to upgrading the Vibrant? Eh, it probably isn't going to be worth the (extra) price and I'd rather snag this phone over it, since it already has an established development around it.

So, I went with sprint because of the truly unlimited data plan, and this phone. I love my phone, I love the great development community we have, great ROMs. Everything about the phone is great. But I am extremely annoyed with Sprints data service. When I bought the phone I was aware there wasn't 4G in my area worth mentioning, I figured 3G would be fine. Well its not. Average speed test scores of 56 kbps. Abysmal. I had also assumed at some point, slowly the 4G would improve as they added towers. Now Sprint has decided to roll with LTE instead. Probably a smart choice but I feel like I have been screwed over. metro Detroit has some of the slowest 3G there is. So of sprint rolls out LYE this year are we gonna have to riot in the streets or do you think they plan to work with people contracted into WiMax phones?

Detroit did suck for 3g speeds while I was there over xmas. However Sprint going LTE could also help 3G users since the towers in general are being upgraded the 3G data speeds should also get better.
saw a few ppl in detroit today with increased speeds.. nv is coming.
I was going to mention the same thing. As the towers get upgrades to LTE they also should be getting capacity upgrades to help 3G as well.
One thing to remember is that this will take time. WiMax will not go away over night. Im sure they will support WiMax for 2-4 years from now. GIving everyone time to outgrow their current WiMax device and upgrade to a LTE device.
Well in Reno Nevada we've been waiting on 4g for months and my 3g is worse. Through out most of the city I get maybe 5-10 kbs. At one point I had about 30 but still that's ridiculous Ive also tried very close to several towers and still same speeds sprint sucks with their 3g and 4g. Verizon has it out here but unwanted true unlimited. We should riot in the streets

Believe WiMax will be supported till 2015 if I remember the press release correctly.
I had this same complaint. But most people these days do not expect much (past two months) from tech companies anymore so don't expect any sympathy. look for my old thread.
I think we should be offered if not a return, at least an early upgrade to an lte phone.

i also made a thread about this, sprints data service sucks all together I had verizon before and since my wife decided to switch us i hate my phone experience not because of the phone but the service
So i've been paying an additional $10 a month per line on my phones with 4G capabilities. Initally I had the OG EVO, 3D, and now Epic Touch. Its been well over a year probably close to two and I still dont have 4G not that this is something I need but it is something ive been paying for.
I dont live in some rural area (San Diego) so I dont see why they are lagging. Maybe this whole transition from 4G to LTE but that change was fairly recent.
Of couse when you call sprint they are not going to give you any time frame.
So I guess im stuck still paying the additional $10 on each line for a service I cannot access where I live and havent since day one.
Oh well, hopefully once LTE gets going SD will be one of the first to run it.
Anyone with some inside info care to provide some good news?
Sprint now defines that $10 as a smartphone surcharge and applies it to anything that runs iOS, Android, Bby, or WinMo 4g or not, although I don't think sprint has any current smartphones that aren't 4g.
You would've been better off to fight the 4g battle when the evo came out IMO.

True..
At the time when the EVO came out I believe was the only 4G phone they carried so I guess was under the impression the charge was for 4G but I do see it has changed to a general charge for smart phones.
So I guess at this point its just a waiting game.
Techincally the evo was out first, but idunno where you lived, but the Epic was available first here due to false demand scams by HTC... either that or they made them one at a time. Seriously didnt you get enough of this topic in the evo forums?? I know we got sick of it in the Epic forums...

Keep in mind, Sprint's 4G LTE is their own, with their own network, own buildout, and own spectrum.

Best answer to sprint lte is 3 years before most places fully see it. Hell I have been in a wimax test arear for over 2 years and at a sprint store I heard a salesman tell a customer there was no 4g at all but when it gets here it will be awesome. When sprints own staff has no idea 4g is even in their own service area how can I even trust them to put towers up.
Good for you people in great big luscious data driven cities, sucks every where else
I have had several sprint employees tell me that here in Virginia it should be within 2 years.
I have a question of my own. I have had a few people tell me that when LTE comes around we will have to have new phones because the hardware like in the Epic Touch will not work on LTE. Any truth to this?

Yes if you want lte you will have to get a lte capable phone..... Ie sgs3 HTC evo4g lte , etc .... The hardware in this phone will not work on lte . But until you get lte if you have 4g now there is no reason to change unless you're a phone junkie like me

This summer I am guessing since that is when they are releasing the Evo Lte, Galaxy Nexus etc. Boston market looks like lte will cover almost the entire state, and if it's anything like how when the original htc evo launch, lte will most likely be already on in boston market.
Sad that's it's taken me this long to actually have LTE on my own personal phone. It's almost 20damned14 afterall. I am easily the biggest (in real life) phone nerd I know yet am the last to have and experience LTE.
I've never owned a wimax enabled phone so Sprints insistence that I DO live in and am blanketed by "4G" services are crap and have only made me hate them more recently.
I've even worked for both Verizon AND now AT&T for the better part of the last 3 years. Great LTE companies! First as a contractor and now as a full time AT&T employee (still have a week or so to wait for my att work phone to come in) but I've never had a true phone of my own that actually had LTE.....
UNTIL TONIGHT! they've been testing the lte towers around here recently as I noticed at first my 3G turn to a 4G and now, finally an LTE. wow just wow.
Unlimited LTE.
first things first I have a TON of torrents to dl to start actually utilizing my unlimited data plan here. The only thing that will slow me down is the lack of sd here. Unlimited upload speeds? WHY NOT!
Figures this didn't happen until I'm getting ready to retire this beautiful damned phone of ours as my everyday. Maybe it's fitting. A final swan song of fast, unimpeded internet.
Damnit I feel so happy right now!
