After missing breezing right past the original April target, Sprint set September as the launch window for the Baltimore debut of its WiMax service, Xohm. As September draws to an end without word from Sprint, folks are starting to get worried that it might slip back again. Fortunately, Gearlog went and asked. The Response? “Launch still on for September.”

That leaves just under two weeks for Xohm to make its first commercial debut. However, DSLReports is reporting a tip they received, saying that while the announcement will come on September 26th, the actual launch won’t occur until October 6th. Either way, it’s better than 2009.
