Wimax

Will the 4g LTE phone benefit from an all Wimax network? Or will it just use 3g?

3G, which is why I'm skipping Virgin Mobile and going to SIMple Mobile

4GLTE is in use for this phone not 4G Wimax .

Wimax is in use for the Samsung galaxy SII & HTC EVO V models.

No matter which carrier you use, an LTE phone will not connect to Wimax and a Wimax phone will not connect to LTE. Switching carriers will not change this.

An LTE phone when not connected to LTE will revert to 3G. And a Wimax phone when not connected to Wimax will also revert to 3G. Unless there are some rare "tri-radio" phones that I don't know about, this is the issue with all phones on all carriers.. including Virgin Mobile and Simple Mobile.

Hope this helps.

You'll never see a LTE/Wi-Max phone it would be the biggest and thickest phone on the market. I imagine it would be something like the First Gen Zune
