I was briefed in a meeting that if T-mobile would have known that a faster EDGE(speeds close to 275k) would be released next year they would have skipped UMTS and went straight to LTE.

Hspda is not launching with it. Umts only will be slightly faster data then edge but not much there will be no actual 3g indicator eathier
