Re: yes, but how many subscribe to a data plan?
If you use GSM (umts) then you are using 3G voice. That is not the same as Cdma (evdo), since evdo does only data. |

I think the reason these types of stats are thrown out is because everyone is looking to data to be the next revenue generator. |

Well alot of people have 3G phones, but using them for voice only. Not knowing or caring that they are 3g

In fact all you have to do is check most WM phones: you can select if you want to use WCDMA/UMTS/3G or stick with GSM by default for voice.

Not knowing or caring that they are 3g I don't know what you mean by "lot of people" but it's unlikely - if you list the phones on att.com or tmo.com most are still 2G only...
