Me think there is only one device sold through AT&T's retail outlets which supports Category 8 HSDPA (7.2 Mbps) and that is the Sierra Wireless 881 AirCard. And out of the box it is configured for CAT6 (3.6 Mbps). There is an AT command to enable it. Anyone know what it is?
@ran - the GT U E is not the GT, the former's an Express card and the latter's a Type 2 card. Option's Globetrotter line is the equivalent of the ATTWS Ultra Express. I own one of each. The higher speeds aren't available yet - obviously - and will require a firmware upgrade if they ever get the higher speeds worked out and available; we can get to the data cap twice as fast!!!
About the speeds, I'd really be happier blowing my 60 Washingtons a month knowing I could get one-fifth of the data speeds they're hitting in the Windy City. I've got three towers within 6 blocks of my office and I still can't get consistently decent service, although it's much snappier than anything that SPCS or VZWS provides. I'm in PDX and will trying out the new Clear Wi-Max service over the next couple of weeks...
“The HD2 is a magnificent monster. It is a hulking, intimidating, massive slab of a gadget. If you think the device looks big in photos, it's nothing compared to how it seems up close.”

The Option GT Ultra Express can as well.
Namely it's supposed to be called the Option GT 7.2 elsewhere.

Don't forget the Fuze is 7.2. The SGold3 chip or whatever in the iphone 3g is supposed to be a 7.2 part as well.
