Cingular has leapfrogged Sprint and Verizon to become the highest speed data provider available. IMO if they keep the rollout up they may even surpass sprint in coverage area as Sprint's EVDO footprint is pathetic. Note that the U860 will only do UMTS/HSDPA here in the states as we run UMTS on our standard GSM freqs whereas Europe uses 2100Mhz for 3G. It'll do EDGE anywhere else. Conversely, European 3G equipment won't do UMTS here unless it can adapt to running UMTS on standard GSM frequencies.
