"the HSPA standard used by AT&T is more widely used than the EVDO standard used by Verizon"

The new HTC Touch Pro 2 from Sprint gives you the best of both worlds. It has EVDO/CDMA for use in North America and the Caribbean and HSPA/GSM for worldwide use. I wonder if this is a sign of an eventual shift toward GSM for Sprint?
