ATT/Cingular's HSDPA network is pretty pitiful right now. It is only deployed in something like 17 major metro areas and speed test results aren't showing data rates much faster than EDGE. T-mobile bought a bunch of spectrum for doing 3g GSM and they should be able to create a network that is more competitive with the CDMA data providers. Unfortunately, it is anyone's guess as to when their rollout will occur. In short, 3g GSM is pretty pitiful in the US.

As for phones, I stopped by Nokia Experience Center at the Alderwood Mall north of Seattle yesterday and spent about half an hour playing with the N95 "superphone." That is one damn fine phone, if you don't mind dropping $650 on one.
