Cole,

FYI, Sprint's 4G offering is based on Wi-Max and Verizon's will be
based on LTE.  FWIW, Wi-Max will likely die as a viable technology in the US
before being fully deployed.  Unfortunately for Sprint, this will be second
failed attempt at being a market leader.  For those of us that remeber Sprint
Spectrum, it too died rather quickly.

If I was making a choice today I'd pick
EVDO Rev A and wait for LTE.

Just my opinion,

Gil
