Phil, Casper, My city has had 4G coverage for months and after seeing the incredible data rates, I'm really considering purchasing a 4G modem for my laptop. As for the phone, I'm not on fire to replace my current one, so I will wait until something acceptable is on the market. CDMA is a must as I'm not interested in switching carriers. BTW, two of the four big carriers in America use CDMA, so I'm confident that there will be a CDMA 4G Android phone soon enough.
