You can use the Evo to replace your clear router/modem if you pay the $30 a month tether fee. (Its possible it will be free for those brave enough to root, time will tell).


However I'm curious to see the comparison of the Clear modem vs the Evo tether to see the results.

 

You might want to consider playing with the Evo for a few days and than returning it. Supposedly, the clear stores will themselves be offering phones soon.

FWIW, don't know if its true but one of the clear sales reps said they were getting the evo a month after its sprint into.

 

From what I have heard, take this with a grain of Salt, Sprint is not offering WiMax Home Broadband. Although Sprint owns a controlling stake in Clear and they are working together they keep business Seperate. I have also heard that Sprint will however offer WiMax Business Broadband solutions to businesses. The best thing to do would be contact Sprint sales and actually ask for. Manager right off the bat. Actually I call the Sprint business sales people because they are usually more knowledgeable.

 

Nope. Same network for the most part but different branding. I am in the same place as you.

Considering Clear charges something like $30-35 for home and $50-55 for home plus one laptop, you are basically just getting that for less already since the Evo is only costing you $10 more per month. If you added mobile service to Clear it would add $20. This is why I just have home even though my laptop has a Wimax radio inside. I have access to wifi at home and at work and elsewhere so I don't really need to pay extra for Wimax on my laptop.
