[QUOTE="newusername, post: 4550119, member: 562064"] Nope, 3G is UMTS. Just for fun....let's follow the path of companies like Cingular/at&t or T-Mobile (not the CDMA camp). 1G - AMPS 2G - TDMA w/ CSD 2.5G - GSM w/ GPRS 2.75G - GSM w/ EDGE 3G - UMTS w/ W-CDMA 3.5G - UMTS w/ HSDPA UMTS technically uses GSM infrastructure (which is why it is the logical path for companies like at&t who have empirically been a GSM company), but it is a newer and more advanced protocol. What speeds will you get? Depends on where you're located, network traffic, and what up and down links they have in your area. At best (assuming the fastest HSDPA connection possible in your area), you'll see no more than 7.2 Mbit/s (~900 kB/s). This makes browsing a heck of a lot more fun and makes things like live video sharing viable. [/QUOTE]
