in 2008, 2-4Mb will be passe. By then I expect to have a HSDPA phone with BT PAN that anything in the PAN can suck down speeds in excess of 2-4Mbps.
You would think that huh? But we're talking about America, Land of the Greed, Home of the Cheap.

Not to mention that I highly doubt 2-4 meg will be considered "passe'", at the rate DSL, cable, and fiber deployment are gong, it'll be decades before we get what the urbanites have had for years.

$55 a month, huh? HMmm, that's $5 cheaper than EVDO..perhaps they'll offer Sero WiMAX for $45 a month?

I think it's time to start a forum for crybabies, usually baby's who cry at least enjoy crying together. Then shut the door on that forum and it would be as if half of the world has been silenced at once.

Absolutely, this is the kind of BS I'm predficitng ever since these current WiMax-Sprint news are dominating.
HSDPA is already at 3.xMb in Europe - this "2-4Mb in 2008" is totally pathetic, clear sign of a loser.

Not all people enjoy handing over their money to AT&T Kamm; not only that, but I think it'll be a long time before HSDPA has coverage that is as wide as EVDO (and, in the future WiMAX). Not to mention, I think it'll be a while before we see speeds like Europe.

Besides, if I recall,WiMAX will have much much lower latency than EVDO or HSDPA.

Why is it any better to hand it to Sprint?
You're not making sense...

not only that, but I think it'll be a long time before HSDPA has coverage that is as wide as EVDO
TMO will launch its coverage this year - I predict they will be on-pair with EVDO by the end of 2008.

(and, in the future WiMAX).
{i]Future[/i] WiMax has zero current coverage...

Not to mention, I think it'll be a while before we see speeds like Europe.
That's a problem, I agree but I hope things will change very soon, within a year.

Besides, if I recall,WiMAX will have much much lower latency than EVDO or HSDPA.
WiMax doesn't really have anything because it's a paperware at Sprint so far, a future product.

Simple, because I hate AT&T; they're a monopoly and, from many of the things I've read and seen, I'm not, at all, impressed with their service. Not to mention the fact that they're a virtual monopoly now.

TMO will launch its coverage this year - I predict they will be on-pair with EVDO by the end of 2008.
A lot can happen in 2 years; disasters, economic crashes, etc...EVDO plans on having the majority of it's network up by the 3rd quarter of this year.

Isn't HSDPA a software upgrade or am I confusing that with Flash-OFDM?

If so then they should have coverage much more sooner than later.
