Telus HSPA Network Live today? Will TP2 World edition work on it?

[Touch_Pete]

So I got a friend who has a new iPhone GS on the Telus network to let me try his SIM in my Touch Pro2 (also Telus but unlocked) with the thought that I might be able to try connecting to the new Telus HSPA network. Well it did not detect a network at all when I forced it to GSM which was not the case when I tried my daughters SIM from her iPhone on Fido (Rogers). That time it immediately found the Rogers network although I was unable to access their HSPA either. So I guess it is clear that the new Telus Netork is pure HSPA with no support for standard GSM and the TP2 clearly lacks the ability to connect to the new HSPA network. Now the question remains does it lack the hardware to connect or is it locked out by software? Any thoughts on how we can find the answer?

I got my friend to do the mobilespeedtest.com test and he was getting ~3500 KPS on HSPA while I was getting only ~800 KPS on EVDO
