Can you comment on the technical merits of WCDMA vs. CDMA2000?

I will add to Art's answer to you the following.

According to the President of Lucent's Wireless Division W-CDMA does not work yet, at least not as it is intended. According to him the voice part works, but the data part does not. Without the data part, it does not work. Also, it may be that DoCoMo intends to deploy a make shift, partially functional W-CDMA next may so that they can say, see we are deploying on time.

I must assume these voice/data problems were why QCOM's brain trust came up with HDR, separating voice and data.

What I cannot answer and would like to know is how does 1x/HDR differ from CDMA2000?
