Okay, I had to do some quick self-edjumacating on EVDO & 1XRTT. and found this excellent Article link below:
it basically, says: 1xRTT is the default once you get outside of EVDO coverage area. (speed 144kpbs up/down, Average is more like 80kbps) Then there is Rev. 0 (speed 400 - 700 kbps) and after that Rev. A. (speed 500-1000 kbps) EVDO is a U.S. thing, Europe uses GSM. Verizon is now 100% Rev. A Verizon was first, Sprint quickly catching up. According to the article BOTH are $59.99 with unlimited access. The article also has a EVDOMaps.com link but it doesn't come up. And I guess terminology wise, the aircard, EVDO card, modem card lingo are used interchangebly (e.g. express, pcmcia, and USB) And I'm not sure all about the AT&T HSxPA. is that their own proprietary thing> http://www.evdoinfo.com/content/view/37/61/ Thanks On 2/7/08, Frank Keeney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I do understand this. > > But is HSDPA widely deployed in the US (vs. Sprint/Verizon EVDO)?
