IF the Mobile Ops get that yellow streak off their backs and sort out the Data Tariffs I reckon that [within a couple of years] there won't be a mobile computing device that does not have HSDPA/HSUPA integral. I observe how [firstly] Bluetooth and now WiFi are becoming almost ubiquitous in such devices, and increasingly so as we move forward.
Maybe I'm not fussy
but I'm reasonably impressed with receiving bog-standard 3G's 300Kbps+ to a mobile device. But maybe that is because I recall only too well GSM's 2.4Kbps when mobile data first became a [hideously expensive] reality. At that time we had established a small number of mobile users with tn3270 access to an IBM Mainframe through some quite convoluted mobile dial-up means (the MF boys wouldn't hear of rigging the Big Blue box out with an IP stack and an Ethernet connection).
