Clearwire (owned mostly by Sprint) just reported profits and normally you don’t get much information on new phones, but that’s not the case this time around. According to Reuters (via @saschasegan), “The company also promised to sell two high-speed phones by the end of the year with one device from Samsung Electronics and another from HTC Corp.” Now it’s entirely feasible that they felt comfortable pre-announcing these two phones and Palm could slip in a 4G phone this year, but we’re thinking that’s not likely.

Is 4G going to be a niche market this year or were you hoping, dreaming of a 4G webOS device? If the  C40 isn’t a 4G compatible device, then what exactly is this mysterious device?
