    How and how much better is the WiMAX 5350?

    It's the exact same thing, except the 5350 supports WiMAX.

    Agreed. Unless you live in Baltimore, Portland, or another city that is supposed to get WiMax in the near future (most likely Sprint's Xohm) just get the 5300 (or even the 5100 as I have been very satisfied with it).

    With WiMAX, one needs to pay more than the wifi for subscription?
