T-Mobile just recently announced its new WebConnect Rocket USB Modem capable to reach speeds up to 21Mbps while Sprint already offers WiMax service for quite a while. PCWorld has compared both services in mayor cities like Las Vegas and Philadelphia.
About the WebConnect Rocket : T-Mobile’s first HSPA+ modem is even faster than the WiMAX devices we tested. But T-Mobile needs to provide a clear picture of their service plans and network buildout before we jump on board.
About Sprint Modem : If you’re connecting with Sprint, there’s no reason to get a 3G-only modem any more. Step up to a 3G/WiMAX combo with the U301—just don’t expect too much of WiMAX.
Check the full comparison here.

There’s been past talk of a pairing between Sprint and Deutsche Telekom’s T-Mobile but nothing has happened. Many observers say such as transaction would be as disastrous as the Sprint-Nextel merger because Sprint runs a CDMA network while T-Mobile uses GSM.
However, after Citigroup raised Sprint’s ratings to Buy from Hold, there are many speculations about if Sprint should merge with T-Mobile USA to compete with AT&T and Verizon Wireless.
Michael Rollins, a Citigroup analyst, sees a 55% chance of a deal that combines Sprint and T-Mobile in 2010; he thinks the key would be to simply move Sprint’s customers to T-Mobile’s networks, and eliminate the multiple networks that Sprint operates.
