I understand, but many areas are picking up EVDO, and UMTS/HSDPA. Many

consumes network, shouldn't we be able to use a 3G network?
This of course has little to do with geolocation, but after a couple of years
of major frustration with trying to build IP-based applications I just need
to vent:
3G/UMTS is nowhere near working! Moving around in central Helsinki, an E61
drops the network fully or switches between 2G and 3G (dropping TCP
connections) every few minutes. Establishing calls may take 5 tries.
EVDO works nicely but it's very obvious when you fall back to 1xRTT. Also,
while I picked up a PRL to allow Verizon (1xRTT only) data roaming, and it
works, it appears to not autoswitch, I have to make a new connection)
Sadly, for us anyway, no CDMA yet. But, I understand the decision.
