Slacker,

<< I'll have to do some digging but there were presentations given by SKT and KTF (in Oct./Nov.) that indicated data ARPU's were running at least twice as high for 1x as for IS-95A/B. >>

Seems like I saw one or some of those, but I can't recall the specifics, but that is exactly what I'd like to see, although as you point out below the new color displays might blur that.

Most specifically, I'm trying to ascertain what if any "3G" type content has been made available that would run better with higher bandwidth. AOD/VOD (phones and services) was what the press in Korea was touting this time last year as being the missing ingredient.

<< The very early indications from data ARPU on color handsets had them running twice the normal 1x rate. >>

That really doesn't surprise me after looking at (since I can't read most of the text) pictures of new models in the reviews of new models on run.to/review.
