HSDPA is the downlink channel of HSPA (HSUPA is uplink). So, yes N900
supports it.

These are the supported technologies:

Voice:
GSM 1800
GSM 1900
GSM 850
GSM 900
WCDMA Band I (2100)
WCDMA Band IV (1700/2100)
WCDMA Band VIII (900)

Data:
Dual Transfer Mode (MSC 11)
EDGE Class A
GPRS Class A
HSDPA
HSUPA
WCDMA

No, these are CDMA technologies and N900 does not support CDMA.

Also, if you tell us which country you are in, maybe someone familiar
with your area can suggest compatible carriers.

For example, in USA the only nationwide carrier that works fully to
the N900's capabilities is T-Mobile.

Good luck :)

But AT&T & Rogers operate on UMTS bands I/II/V: 2100, 1900, 850 MHz.
AFAIK, most GSM based carriers use standard UICCs with their 3G & 4G
networks.

Sadly I don't know anything about the carriers in India, hopefully
someone else on the list can give you some help with that. Good luck!
