Same here.
Their video shows decent results - I'm not sure what the writer is looking for. According to the video, they were averaging 2.3 Mbps while driving at 50 km/h, and averaged 2.5 Mbps stationary at the edge of cell.

Given Motorola's history of making good ideas look bad in the real world, I think I'll wait with you. Almost everything Motorola builds is toilet candy so I don't see why their version of HSDPA would be any different.
On the Cingular side of things, I'm sure there is a reason why Cingular chose Ericsson, Lucent, and Seimens and didn't choose Motorola to build it's 3G network.

I agree with you on this one. It seems that time could become a foe to Cingular. Can they afford to allow their CDMA counterparts to develop and deploy future versions of EVDO? Given Sprint's history of deploying new network technology quickly across their entire network and Verizon's buildout of EVDO I am not sure there is a lot of room for error if Cingular wants to be a major player in the data business. But the slow adoption of data features by American consumers could buy them the time they need.

That's the one thing on Cingular's side: A fickle American public not willing to take the high speed cellular data plunge just yet.
