Ok that sounds very similar to the difference between DOCSIS standards on the cable modems I used to install as a cable tech. Do you know what specifically it is with the newer phones that allow the HSPA+? Is it due to a different frequency that's being used?

Also from looking on the HTC website I see that different versions of the TP2 have different up and download ratings. The Tmobile version shows the 7.2mbps down and 2mbps up limits but the Sprint, US Cellular and I'm assuming Verizon's version are limited to 3.1 down and 1.8 up which I'm assuming has to do with the particular frequency band and it's bandwidth limits but any specifics would be appreciated.

If the Tmobile version is truly capable of that much of a significant difference in download speeds compared to the CDMA dominant versions, is it possible to unlock the Tmobile TP2 to run something like Sprint down the road?
