Fujitsu, Motorola, and NEC's 3.6Mbps HSDPA prototypes for DoCoMo

First Samsung did it, now Fujitsu, Motorola, and NEC (respectively in that pic) have rolled out three new HSDPA prototype handsets capable of hitting 3.6Mbps -- currently the maximum achieved of the theoretical 14Mbps limit of HSDPA. The devices were co-developed with NTT DoCoMo who plan to begin rollout of their HSDPA services in Japan starting sometime between July and September. DoCoMo will be turnin' out their new line-up at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona starting 13 Feb so you can expect some more detail in a few.

The design guys at NEC aren't even trying...

Isn't that the V3x? Will DoCoMo lock that, or will a standard V3x unlock also apply to a DoCoMo V3x, seeing as how there hasn't been a single DoCoMo phone unlocked that I know of...

i'm guessing that these use the same chipset as that samsung that made headlines with the 1st 3.6Mbps?

to Jamar, i don't think it's that ez to unlock a 3G phone, but even if you could you would never be able to us the V3x on US HSDPA b/c the frequencies we use here are different from Japan.

Might I note that none of those handsets are the HSPDA handsets, rather the F901iS ( A now Superceeded model ), some Motorola ('eh') and the N902i.

The v3x: a suitably ugly device.

Mabye NEC traded in their design team for a crate full of RAZRs.

I'm suprised Fujitsu are still in the market of developing products supporting new technologies such as HSDPA. They have failed to emerge onto the European scene despite professing to be a global player Utter Puff....

That is not the Moto V3x.

It's a variant called "Celiqua" I've handled it.
