Sprint gives the bad news, WiMAX will be delayed

by Robert Nelson on Apr 3, 2008 at 06:31 PM

Sprint Nextel has announced the planned roll-out of their Xohm WiMAX will be delayed. According to a company spokesperson we can now expect it “later in the year” but rumor has it that it will come sometime this summer. Sprint was also quick to make it clear that the delay was not due to anything technical, claiming that:

“We want to make sure the launch meets our expectation,”

This delay can not be good news for the recently announced Nokia N810 WiMAX Edition. As far as the Cloudbook Max announcement, we were initially put off by their availability which came as it was “expected to be available in a year,” it now seems that is no longer an issue. Of course those in Chicago, D.C., and Baltimore will still be able to enjoy the service while everyone else waits, thanks to the soft launches that Sprint had in those areas.
