The information that I could find on the web about Sprint's new '3G' high-speed data service was a little short on solid information, so I spoke with Kevin Packingham, Senior Manager of Business Marketing for SprintPCS' new Vision service. I sought him out because Ubiquitous, affordable high speed wireless data services are something of a holy grail for tech-savvy road warriors like myself, so I received each morsel of information about Sprint's new service with great interest. Mr. Packingham spoke over the phone and he clarified many of the questions that I had about the new service.

IMO it is very sad that companies are allowed to mislead consumers with regard to the real network speeds. Currently only in Japan 3G phone services are commercially available.
NTT DoCoMo is the market leader in Japan, with over 34.6 million 2.5G i-mode users and around 140,000 3G users.
BTW the German and Dutch 2.5G/i-mode versions, currently have well over 100,000 users, with customers being extremely statisfied with this service.
i-mode has recently also been released in Taiwan by KG Telecom.
