But if it does come to sprint, can we buy it unlocked?
I have always wondered how phones that come from sprint and verizon can be bought unlocked. Do there phone have like no sim card attachment?

i dont have a glue wth "wimax" is but i do know that you can buy a gsm unlocked version of the phone. with gsm versions it wouldnt be a sprint branded phone it would have to be imported.
