Use WiMax on your phone

Image via Wikipedia

I just read that Sprint are launching a 4G handset in the US which uses a WiMax connection if one exists. Although network coverage is still incomplete (around 10% of the US and missing some major cities) introducing a device that can use the technology is a great way to kick start the adoption of the technology. If they catch on, network coverage will increase. I wonder if there are any cheap phones that let you use an internet satellite connection for data, or to make VOIP calls.

Anyone out there planning on getting one of these phones?
