I said absolutely nothing about HSPDA being able to get email faster. I know its not data intensive. I specifically said HSPDA is better for web browsing and other data intensive applications ... nowhere did I say email would be downloaded faster.

What I did say was that HSPDA in a BlackBerry would be better because you could receive email WHILE being on the phone at the same time. I don't know how many times I was on a 2 hour conversation, or went from one phone call to the next for a couple of hours and failed to receive a very important email because EDGE does not allow you to be on the phone and use data at the same time. Try it ... get on the phone and send yourself email. You can do it till your blue in the face. You will never get that email until you get off the phone. It is a worlds difference if you can be on the phone with a headset AND be able to receive and respond to email at the same time.
