I'm anxiously awaiting the wider rollout of EV-DO Rev A by Sprint. It'll be nice to upgrade from my current Rev 0 card and actually have useful upstream bandwidth...
It is nice seeing 3G GSM services finally being rolled out in a decent fashion though. It'll be even nicer when I can get proper HSDPA/HSUPA service from T-Mobile since I refuse to deal with other US carriers for voice, having been through almost all of them at one point or another.

Cingular GlobalConnect plan?
I'd like to try out Cingular's HSDPA service, but I'm waiting for a global plan that won't break the bank with roaming fees.
There was a press release announcing such a plan with a tri-band UMTS/HSDPA card (plus quad-band GPRS/EDGE) at $140 per month with 100MB of roaming data (outside the US) included and unlimited data within the US.

But... nothing since then. The Cingular sales reps that I talked to don't seem to know anything about it.
Any info on this?

I just have TMo EDGE, well and TMo unlimited WiFi. But I got my TyTN yesterday after ScottCs suggestion and that is a BANG - UP device 
You can really tell how much faster the processor is than in my Treo 700w. Even though the Treo has EvDO the TyTN processor seems to make up some of the difference. Im feeling pretty good with the Treo w/EvDO in the US and the TyTN for out of the country or for when I want a bigger keyboard.
I wonder if the TyTN isnt approaching laptop substitute for a lot of applications?

My Verizon and Sprint EVDO connections rarely go above 400kbps when tested (using Treo 700w, MotoQ, BB7130e, PPC-6600).
What metro area (if I may ask)?
