The new additions for 2009 include Texas, Washington, Hawaii, Idaho, North Carolina and Oregon joining the previously announced markets of Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Honolulu, Las Vegas, Portland, Philadelphia and Seattle.

The Overland Park, Kan.-based company also said it plans to sell the service in Boston, Houston, New York City, San Francisco and Washington, D.C., next year.

Sprint began selling its 4G service -- using WiMax networks operated by Clearwire -- in Baltimore last year.

WiMax offers peak download speeds of more than 10Mbps and average downlink speeds of 3-6Mbps -- three to five times faster than the 3G service.
