Sprint’s getting ready to grab a big piece of the WiMAX pie, by launching an Android smartphone in 2010, or so claim the latest rumours. Word has it that this handset will support both 4G and 3G connectivity.
We also learn that the phone will be able to switch from WiMAX to EV-DO at any time, just like the current CDMA handset can use both 1xRTT and EV-DO connectivity. We’re wondering what OS the new smartphone will run, while analysts suggest that it’ll be Android, with Samsung as the device’s manufacturer.
The handset’s launch is scheduled to take place when Clearwire reaches the 100 million subscriber limit in the US, so that means around the end of 2010.
