so a phone marketed at 3.5G is only capable of HSPA speeds where as a H+ phone is equivalent to 4G which is capable of faster speeds. The S2 would be faster.
I thought HSPA+ only became 4G after carriers whined and whined and whined about it, and standards makers finally relented and let them call wimax etc. 4G, when they really should not have been called that.

so i guess the "real" 4G is now called something else. <= it's still called 4G, also..

edit+: something on this here:
