According to Cingular's Web site:
In 2003, Cingular launched the world's first commercial deployment of wireless services using Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) technology. EDGE is a third-generation high-speed mobile data and internet access technology, with average rates that are fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services, including streaming audio and video, fast Internet access, and large file downloads.
When it comes to technology, Cingular is always looking toward the future. We have launched Universal Mobile Telephone Service in six markets and intend to launch several more in 2005. UMTS is the leading 3G-technology choice today offering potential worldwide coverage and enabling economies of scale, global roaming, and a priority technology for software and applications developers. UMTS is one of the natural forward evolutionary paths for GSM networks.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that say that they operate a 3G/UMTS network in six markets, with more to follow?

There are now LIVE with 18 Markets with UMTS in the 850/1900Mhz bands! Check their website NOT just the press releases.
Furthermore since you mentioned North America dont forget Rogers for those of us in Canada already testing UMTS+HSDPA (which Cingular too is using) for national launch in summer 2006 = Rogers in Canada
