According to Unstrung, Sprint will offer a tri-mode with CDMA, WiFi and WiMAX connectivity, and may launch the Sprint 4G service in new unannounced locations.
"We haven't announced specific timing or any more details other than to say we expect to offer a 4G phone on our road map for 2009-2010," a Sprint spokeswoman told Unstrung.
Sprint currently offers a CDMA/WiMAX modem card for users of the WiMax network in Baltimore.
Clearwire WiMAX will be launched in Atlanta, Honolulu, Charlotte, Las Vegas, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas, Portland, Fort Worth, and Seattle in 2009. Boston, Houston, New York, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C., and other cities will have WiMAX launched in 2010.
"The list in the release isn't necessarily inclusive of everything for 2009 and 2010," she wrote.
