Yeah ... but everyone that runs speed tests using laptop connect cards always posts higher speeds with HSPA than EVDO. There is a HUGE difference between theoretical limit and what you actually get, but the theoretical limit of HSPA is not just a little bit faster ... its a lot faster. BOTH are slower than the theoretical limit, and HSPA SHOULD have a higher speed advantage than it does .... but is still faster.
Max theoretical:
EDGE - 473.6 kbit/sec
EVDO RevA - 3.1 mbit/sec
HSPDA - 14.4 mbit/sec
The speed difference between EDGE and EVDO is comparable to the speed difference between EVDOrevA and HSPDA. Saying that there are too many factors to argue that HSPDA is faster than EDGE is like me saying that you can't argue that EVDO is faster than EDGE because there are too many factors.
