Default Ericsson Engineers Create 3G faster than Sprints "4G"

I'm not surprised this happened, im actually glad to see that 3G is still being developed and improved and that such high speeds are capable. The thing that im annoyed about is that Sprint is still touting their WiMax (XOHM) as a 4G solution, when in reality it comes nowhere close to being 4G, and as we can see in the snippet and article below, its simply just 3.5G and maybe even worse... :rolleyes:

I am a big mobile phone geek, so this is kinda my forte.

It looks like Ericsson engineers took offense at Sprint's 4G claims - several engineers contacted us and gave us details about their 28Mbps 3.5G service. A couple of weeks ago, we ran a story in which we criticized Sprint for branding their WiMAX service as a 4G one. In our comments section, you could read the debate what is and what should not be considered as 4G. In Sprint's terms, WiMAX clearly qualifies for 4G, even though that "4G" moniker is the defined standard as Long Term Evolution or LTE - data and voice technology to be used in next-gen of cellphones and smart devices.
