Clearwire (along with Sprint (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/live-from-sprints-4g-experience-event-at-ces-2010/) and Comcast (http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/29/comcast-launches-high-speed-2go-wimax-service-tomorrow-in-portla/), just to name a couple) has been fiercely expanding (http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/clearwire-goes-live-with-wimax-service-in-ten-new-markets/) its WiMAX network across America for months on end now, and while select citizens in select cities have had access to the 4G superhighway for just over a year (http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/03/newly-dubbed-clear-wimax-service-hits-portland-oregon/), we haven't actually had the opportunity to find ourselves in one of those locations for any amount of time. Until recently, that is. The Clear 4G service was lit up in Las Vegas (http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/21/clear-wimax-goes-live-in-las-vegas-samsung-mondi-ships-to-take/) late last year, which gave the Engadget squad just enough time to scrounge up a gaggle of Motorola 4G USB sticks and really test out the network while at CES. Meanwhile, the North Carolinians among us were also able to test the boundaries of the 4G patches (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/clearwires-wimax-rollout-rolls-on-nc-wa-tx-il-and-hi-get-li/) that have been setup here, and we're finally ready to dish out a few opinions on the fourth generation of cellular data. Eager to know if it's the best thing since sliced bread the invention of the MP3 (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/ten-gadgets-that-defined-the-decade/)? Read on to find out.
