With the addition of these five major city centers, Sprint is now offering is 4G network to 68 markets across the United States. This includes such notable destinations as Boston, Chicago, Dallas, and New York City. San Francisco is getting added to the mix by the end of the year on December 28, assuming everything goes according to plan.

Yes, I know that the most hardcore of enthusiasts will be quick to point out that WiMAX isn’t technically a 4G technology, but that’s not stopping other carriers from doing the same with their respective “4G” networks either. From T-Mobile’s HSPA+ to the rollout of LTE, none of these are these are technically 4G technologies. We have to wait for the next-gen of WiMAX and LTE for that to happen.

In any case, if you’re happy with Sprint’s (almost) 4G WiMAX, you can go beyond the Samsung Epic 4G and HTC EVO 4G to find the Overdrive 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot too. [Sprint]
