Could this be the first smart phone for Sprint's Xohm WiMAX system? An LG rep standing by said that this sleek, Windows Mobile device--about the size and shape of LG's Prada fashion phone--could very easily run both Sprint's WiMAX and CDMA EVDO systems in tandem. (The demo model combined WiMAX and GSM, a mix you aren't likely to see in the US.)
The Windows Mobile 6 smart phone is based on a Qualcom MSM7200 chipset (which typically has a 400 Mhz processor) and has 128 MB RAM. It's running Windows Mobile 6 Professional, with a 320x240 touch screen. The LG rep promised "seamless handoff" between CDMA or GSM and WiMAX. Needless to say, this isn't on any Sprint roadmap that's been made public.

Future Wireless:
Lead with WiMAX data and VoiceIP and fall back on any Cell VOice & Narrowband Data when out of range (Rural Areas) of the WiMAX Network. Ultimately Intel will include the following in the Centrino Line of products:
1. WiFi 802.11n (2.4 & 5.8Ghz)
2. WiMAX 802.16e (2.5Ghz) near term and the switch to-
3. WiMAX 700Mhz, replacing all 2.5Ghz systems.
4. Optional GSM or CDMA based card that we can add if necessary in our Portable Devices.
