Re: 3G or EV is there a difference?

3G stands for Third Generation. It is a generic marketing description for High Speed Data networks regardless of the carrier. EVDO, HSPDA, GSM, Etc are terms that represents the Technology used by the carrier for their data network. EVDO is considered a 3G network.

But these terms do not specifically designate the actual speed of the Data network. So any Data device will see the benefit of the 3G network, not just laptops.
