OT - Foot, the ATT HSDPA is very similiar/comparable to Verizon's EVDO. Except I am partial to Verizon, since IMO they have better nationwide coverage than ATT. But if you are in the FL area mainly it's not a big deal. The coverage in FL with ATT looks good. Although I couldn't find how good the 3G coverage was/how many towers.

I've used all 3 before (verizon ~1mb/s-1.2mb/s, Sprint ~300kb/s-700kb/s, and ATT ~800kbps/~1mb/s) as a beta test bed in the baltimore/DC areae. Sprint's coverage was terrible and the speed was bad too cause they only had 2 towers in the area, ATT was okay but I always found verizon was really good and worked even in the boonies at lower speeds using the older technology at 100kb/s when I was in WY or West Virginia. Vendors always report faster than that but those were what I got in terms of speed. It really depends on how many people they have subscribed to one tower. This could've all changed by now since that was 1 1/2 years ago.

Clearwire/Wimax isn't in Orlando yet. Only Daytona and Jackson. But Wimax is suppose to be the future, and the speeds reported at the moment is about 2mb/s but Wimax can be much much faster at 10mb/s. It depends on how they implement wimax, but from what I hear, laptops are going to start shipping with built in wimax as an option, now or if not in a couple months.

So does that mean you're gonna be posting from the car now? LOL...
