Clarification/updates on the earlier post. HSDPA will be limited to data cards with EDGE/GPRS/GSM fallback. UMTS will be utilized on handsets with EDGE/GPRS/GSM fallback.
Cingular is shooting for an average of 400-700kbps for UMTS and upto 1.8mbps for HSDPA.
Major markets will be lit throughout the end of the year and most should be live by early 2006.
Pricing points will remain the same (at least for now) for data card access at 59.99 unlimited with a qualifying voice line/plan through the promotional period ending in december. Then back to 79.99. Pricing should remain the same for PDA's and regular handsets at 44.95 and 19.99 respectively.
Note to Motorola 3G Victim:
The A845 was certified only for AT%T's UMTS network when it was launched a year ago. If you order one now through the business channel you will still be activated on the legacy at&t network. There are currently no announced handsets certified to work coherently with the Cingular UMTS network. -- This could be why your experiencing problems.
The whole line-up consists of the $60 Amps in-ears and $100 Tracks on-ear headphones, which both also come in slightly souped-up and pricier HD variations at $100 and $130, respectively.
