:I love my Sprint EVDO works great. But i also want to see what HSDPA can do but. I think will wait until its part of the so called All over network that was voted the worst for dropped calls.
HSDPA/GSM has a much-much wider deployment - see Wiki: »
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Speed···ployment - already which most likely translates to cheaper future costs and these deployments supports 3.6Mb/s right out of the box.
A lot of providers who started with 1-1.5Mb initial speed now are at 3.6Mb or are rolling out upgrades.
On the long run I don't think EV-DO has any chance technologically - but that doesn't mean VZ and Sprint won't stick with it for years to come, they have probably already invested too much to switch.
Apparently Sprint agrees with you, they're putting their eggs in the WiMAX basket.
