Is 3G available in Minneapolis to be used with 8525? If not anyone know when it's planned for? Any information about this on website?

I would guess within 3 to 6 months... perhaps sooner but their is no way of knowing for sure.

The good news is that MPLS and the surrounding areas have one of the best EDGE networks in the country with only very little packet loss and latency which means fast access to data.

As far as web surfing I will put it up against Sprints EVDO any day of the week.

Thats good to hear for now! I thought that Minneapolis might of had good EDGE coverage because my connection on my Blackjack is pretty speedy. I compared it to the Verizon's EVDO on the Moto Q on the other night and EVDO was not that fast. It loaded the webpage maybe 2 seconds quicker.

I cant wait to get some HSPDA!

I havent head that exactly. I have heard 3-6 months from now, and I have heard mid-2007. Most of the country will have coverage by the end of 2007. So if cant be more then 1 more year, haha.
