At least in Europe it certainly isn't considered 3G. It's 2.5G, or was as far as the ETSI committees were concerned back in the late nineties when I was involved for work.

In the US it was being touted as a 2.5G technology around the same time. I don't know if it got "rebranded" post '99 as I moved into VoIP and never kept up with the US mobile scene much.
