First WiMaX cell phone
HTC announced a new cell phone, MAX 4, for sale in Russia. that includes a WiMaX interface. This means the phone operating system has three network interfaces to manage: GSM, WiFi, and WiMaX.
It would be interesting to discover how will the new high bit-rate, and long-range wireless technology affect the phone battery life. Which networking technology will users rely on more, the ubiquitous and power-expensive WiMaX, or the opportunistic and cheap WiFi?
