Hate to burst any bubbles, but the Arrive is not 4G. It is very aware of wifi, though, and is compatible with 802.11n. (but not on the 5GHz freq)
4G is new enough that I would not expect it to be in every new device yet, they're still trying to figure out what they're even doing (WiMAX vs. LTE)
Once you get the Arrive and reset it, the 3G still feels plenty fast, as CDMA 3G will always be faster because of the transmission methods behind CDMA.
