Cingular To Upgrade HSDPA To 7.2 Mbps Next Year
HSDPA Upgrade vs EVDO Upgrade - Price and Hardware
But now here is the question, I just bought a new DELL Laptop with the integrated HSDPA card. With this upgrade coming to Cingular's network does that mean my internal card will have to be upgraded to take advantage of these new speeds? Like the Rev A to B that Sprint offers? Or are HSDPA upgrades only linked to tower upgrades and does not mean anything to the client side? A...

Still, 7.2 mbps is pretty damn fast . . . hardware hacking would be almost worth it if internet speed could be doubled.

We are not fooling around when it comes down to deploying 3G.
That statement is fooling around in itself. Have you seen the "3G Network" in NYC? I can't vouch for all the other cities since I haven't lived in them, but its in like, one borough.

They should just stick to providing bad voice service
