UMTS/HSDPA runs (and I've seen it) 1.02mb/s connection speed on a device, and 1.21mb/s on an Aircard. UMTS is the fastest availible data network (Averaging 500-900kbps) And will be rolled out nation-wide (hopefully) by the end of this year. Hopefully a UMTS Blackberry will be soon to follow.

couldnt agree more. But im not sure UMTS will be rolled out this year. Do you have an authentic source?
