EVDO, but if you're in an area with Cingular 3G, HSDPA > EVDO.

I believe HSDPA is 3.5G.

regardless, HSDPA is only in about 40 markets last I heard, where as sprint and verizon are reachign 200 markets with EV-DO.
That and edge sucks.
Oh, and depending on your phone you can get itnernational coverage as well. I know my Q works in europe (gprs)...probably costs a fistful per minute though...through Vodaphone iirc

Verizon EVDO is best for coverage, and Sprint EVDO is currently best for speed (Rev A coming online in some markets now.) HSDPA sucks in North America.

evdo is significantly faster (3g) versus the older 2.5G edge. For the price I cannot beat my cell plan - 500 text, unlimited evdo and 400 anytime mins for 30/mo. I've teathered my cell for about 3 months after college graduation (too cheap for comcast...) and sprint never complained.

With my verizon phoen I get about 200kbps up, and 400kbps average.
With my friends Sprint Evdo phone + bluetooth teethering setup, he was averaging about 550kbps down and 200kbps up.

Verizon FTW. I pay $40/month for coverage nearly everywhere in the USA at great speeds. If u live in a Cingular area where their is HSDPA coverage I'd probably go with it, it's got better speeds than Verizon.

Cingular is $60/month, view 'LaptopConnect Card or Tethered Device' and then 'Data Connect' - unlimited

does this include the 3g portion? or is that part of all if you are in one of the markets that support 3g?
