Isn't W-CDMA a part of UMTS?

I have a Nokia 7600 and I can connect to the FOMA network using my FOMA
USIM. The same is true with the 7600 and my Vodafone USIM. In the end I
use the Vodafone USIM because calls are cheaper and Vodafone provided
the GPRS settings I needed for Web and mail, something DoCoMo refused
to do.
