| 3G coverage ATT can barely deploy UMTS and they're talking about upgrading to HSPA+. Their UMTS network is a joke compared to Verizon and Sprint EVDO coverage. Which is sad especially for me, considering I have to try and sell people on ATT data plans at my job when they can go right across the street and get a plan from Verizon that offers a much better data experience. I've run out of excuses for ATT being so slow at deploying a decent 3G coverage area. |

| Sorry, but I will take HSDPA over EVDO any day.
I have a VZW broadband access card from my job, and an internal AT&T 3G card in my laptop. I find EVDO to be painfully slow. |

| Blame VZW not EVDO. Lafayette, In Sprint EVDO spanks all over AT&T's 3g. |

| If and when AT&T does get 3G correctly deployed on a tower spacing not designed for 1900mhz in some area's. Won't it be a lot faster than Sprint? And what's the fastest possible speed I can see from my HTC Diamond? |

I've run out of excuses for ATT being so slow at deploying a decent 3G coverage area. I was never able to get faster than 500kbps on Sprint EV-DO. For me AT&T EDGE feels just as fast as Sprint EVDO when browsing webpages. The advantage I see is with HSDA I can be on the phone and use data at the same time, which I couldn't do anyways with Sprint... none Sprint's current devices (RevA) can do it, either. So until AT&T deploys 3G everywhere I get the same exact experience I had with Sprint.
