Samsung launches HSDPA phone
Samsung will demo its new HSPDA phone at CES next week. Vodafone plans trials early 2006.
HSDPA is about increased speed on UMTS. At launch Vodafone claims speeds up to 1.6 Mbps and later up to 7 Mbps.
HSDPA stands for High Speed Downlink Packet Access and it's the downlink that gets a performance boost. That's relevant since e.g. web browsing is mainly about downloading data, but if you are to send emails with attachments, stream video from you camera etc, you need higher performance both ways, so there's also HSUPA (Uplink), but that will come a bit later.
Cingular is mentioned as the first operator to launch HSDPA.
