1900mhz?

So does that mean we won't be able to use unlocked Verizon and AT&T devices with Sprint?

No Surprise There

What would one expect them to do? It's their only option at the moment. They'll have to continue supporting it through 2013 as well since they're still selling WiMax phones.

I'd say 2015 at the earliest.
