“ Sprint Nextel will be serving up its own mobile WiMAX products and services, branded “Sprint 4G,” in its retail stores, the carrier said. And the first dual-mode, CDMA/mobile WiMAX modems will be commercially available as early as the end of this year. The move marks the end of the Xohm brand, which the carrier launched in August, 2007.

‘Sprint 4G’ on tap: CDMA/WiMAX modems to hit store shelves this year - RCR Wireless News
A few obvious observations on my part:
1. “Sprint 4G” is a far better name than “Xohm”!
2. A combined WiMax / EVDO modem will be an appealing product
3. The competition between Sprint 4G and Clearwire at retail, with Sprint owning 51% of Clearwire, will be strange and interesting
