"UMTS aka 3G isn't as good a 3G technology as 1xEV-DO"
Maurice, Did you ever sell used vehicles? Just exactly how much speed does one need to "Having Google right there in the palm of your hand"?
I would thing GPRS and Edge are adequate for a handheld mobile and I am sure WCDMA surpasses any bandwidth required for a handheld application.

From my viewpoint the backhaul is the limiting factor in the bandwidth/price game, not the RF end. While one might argue that "DO" is better than WCDMA for data you can rest assured that the pricing will be high enough to keep too many "DO" users from dominating the limted bandwidth available.

p.s. Do you happen to know of any links to what the data speed is in a fully loaded system?

ALL IMO
