Latency is still in the high 100s to mid 200s for most users. This is improved from the 220-280ms average pings on Rev A to most websites. It really isn't that dramatic. When Sprint or any cell company reduces latency to less than 30ms getting off their network and average pings to google.com and most servers are under 100ms then they can praise themselves for reducing latency. Even with Rev A the latency is still only on par with dial up.

I think Rev A doesn't really do any other good than catches up with HSDPA upload speeds. When Cingular raises the ceiling to 3.6Mb/s - they have Class 6 equipment - then EV-DO will be in problem, let alone if Cingular starts upgrading to Class 8 (7.2Mb/s)...
