What makes you think it wont have HSPA? HSPA sits on top of UMTS. You might very well have HSDPA and/or HSUPA, depending on how exactly they have implemented UMTS. Or may have UMTS in general, and be compatible with certain HSPA on certain networks.
It's looks like Apple might finally be waking up the reality that if they want their phone to be a worldwide, huge hit they can't lock it down to one carrier per country.

There are tradeoffs to everything. You got HSDPA. iPhone got video drivers. Everyone is happy.

HSUPA without HSDPA is a bit silly, you'd be uploading faster than you'd be downloading, who wants that?
