Phone Scoop is reporting that Cingular has released it’s first standard headset that supports 3.6Mbps HSDPA 3G services. Previous handsets only supported up to 1.8Mbps HSDPA services, and only their PC Card offerings included a 3.6Mbps 3G data card.
The caveat to potential buyers at this time is that Cingular’s network is still capped at 1.8Mbps at this time. That means that even with a more capable phone like the V3xx, you will only get 1.8Mbps. Network upgrades are happening all the time, and the higher speed phones and cards are simply “future proofing” yourself if you were to buy now.
One last thing, the phone is a dual band only, utilizing the 850 and 1900MHz North American bands, so it is a US/Canada phone only. You won’t be able to use this phone anywhere else in the world.
