    Considering Verizon or ATT Wireless.
    I forgot what article it was ....but there was stats that between HSPDA vs EVDO, it was 20% less battery decrease using HSPDA vs EVDO.

    Yes, I'm aware that different brands of cards, etc will affect this as well. Just curious what the forum users are running with.

    I've had Verizon for 4 years, but planning on switching to AT&T for 3.0 Mps plan within the next month.
