Yes, the N900 supports HSDPA per the specs here:
http://maemo.nokia.com/n900/specifications

In my original post, I was referring to the fact that Verizon is
currently developing its own UMTS/HSDPA/EDGE/GSM network and mobile
devices in the U.S. Without that network, their chances of selling the
iPhone next year are slim to none. q.v.

Gary,

thanks for the clarification and for sharing the info about the new
Verizon Wireless (EVDO/HDSPA) modem product.

Regarding Verizon Wireless plans to build out their own
UMTS/HSDPA/EDGE/GSM Radio Access Network in the U.S. I expect that they
will do that in the 700 mhz band where they have been awarded spectrum
rights in the U.S. market.

Oh, it's finally here, my swiss army knife. They didn't forget the
TV-Out this time. Great. I really hope that this time the N9xx series
will last some years - with updates for the first devices!

Lets imagine: In some years you have a device like the N9xx (in size)
with HDMI out and internal 512 GB Flash. You record your holiday movie
with that device and later plug it to your HDTV, fetch a BT mouse (maybe
keyboard) and do the video cut with it. Not to mention that there will
be a fully office suite inside! By then Microsoft really has to worry
about Windows...

Ok, you can't fool physics (useful lenses need room and it may be hard
to reduce power consumption much more) but it is really nice what's
possible to integrate in a single device.

Would be funny if it's possible to write a small video cutting software
for the N900 (with output to youtube). The new killer app!
