Today HTC announced the MAX 4G, a new mobile phone that is one of the first to include cellular and WiMax radios. The MAX 4G runs Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and has tri-band GSM/EDGE 900/1800/1900 radios, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, GPS and FM radio. It also carries a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and user-facing VGA camera, accelerometer and proximity sensors, and the TouchFLO 3D user interface. The MAX 4G will only be available in Russia on the Yota network. It is compatible with Yota Mobile's 2.5-2.7 GHz WiMax network. It has a 3.5mm headset jack and supports microSD cards up to 8GB.

This is gonna be pretty sweet. Hope Sprint doesn't go to complete crap and pulls itself out of the massive canyon they are in. Maybe WiMax will end up saving them... but then again, maybe not?
When it comes to launching more cities, Sprint just doesn't seem to be ambitous at all, T-Mobile keeps adding cities to they're 3G network. For some reason Sprint just doesn't seem to be adding more, and more cities. I don't know what the deal is with...

Umm... This phone won't do much for Sprint, as its WiMAX + GSM 900/1800/1900. No CDMA radios.

Unless this is designed to work solely in the few cities that Xohm has deployed WiMAX, it won't sell. If Xohm were to sell a device, it would make sense...

If Sprint is WiMax and Sprint is CDMA...What carrier will get this?

Just a thought?
A non US carrier 😛
Even the GSM portion does not cover GSM 850, which would kill for usability in North America.
...
sprint is only wimax in the US... wimax is well deployed in eurasia already
