ATT started a test run for 100 Kbps GPRS in Seattle a couple of weeks ago: http://www.wired.com/news/wireless/0,1382,45344,00.html The test run involves two companies exclusively and the service so far only works with the Motorola Timeport 7382i.

It will work with laptops and provide them with 100 Kbps connectivity. I got this info from 1-800-888-7600.
