I guess this depends on your geographical location. Here in Europe UMTS is allready widespread. In my country for instance you only have handfull of WiFi hotspots, but there is UMTS signal almost anywhere.
Also when you try 3G you actually see how slow GPRS is, it's like going from ADSL to dial-up.
