Sprint, 4G LTE & Nexus S 4G

So, now that Sprint is set to launch their 4G LTE network in Jan 2012, I'm wondering if I'm screwed into getting a new phone to finally get 4G.

See, I live in Iowa in an area that, coincidentally, is supposed to have 4G available in Jan 2012. The problem? I'm not sure if it's going to be WiMax or LTE.

I bought the NS4G expecting to eventually be able to use it. What do you guys think? Is Sprint going to upgrade and ultimately have a hybrid network, or am I stuck with 3G until *I* upgrade to an LTE-compatible phone?
 
They say they're going to support WiMAX through 2013 but I wouldn't count on them opening new WiMAX markets now that the LTE switch is on the books.
