While everyone else has been complaining about MMS missing on the iPhone, I’ve been complaining about having a  HSPA 7.2mbps stuck at about 1.0! Looks like living in Miami is finally going to pay off as my wait is finally coming to an end. AT&T has just posted that they will have 7.2 in Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles,  Charlotte, Dallas, Houston by the end of the year:

AT&T plans to begin deployment of HSPA 7.2 in six major U.S. cities, including Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles and Miami, with initial service availability expected in these markets by the end of the year. All told, the company plans to deploy HSPA 7.2 in 25 of the nation’s 30 largest markets by the end of 2010, and to reach about 90 percent of its existing 3G network footprint with HSPA 7.2 by the end of 2011.
