Even IF their network does support such a transfer rate, the 3G iphone chip would have to support it, and as it's one friggin country out of the world, I think this is pretty much rubbish. ]]>May 23rd 2008 7:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/3g-iphone-to-support-42mbps-evolved-hspa-data/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/3g-iphone-to-support-42mbps-evolved-hspa-data/

I think you just need to switch to a compatible carrier. It's Verizon's own fault... they had first dibs at the iPhone and blew it off.]]>May 23rd 2008 6:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/3g-iphone-to-support-42mbps-evolved-hspa-data/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/3g-iphone-to-support-42mbps-evolved-hspa-data/
Obviously I wasn't talking about the firmware ROM who cares about read speeds for that.

And even the system RAM might not do 42 Mbps.]]>May 23rd 2008 7:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/3g-iphone-to-support-42mbps-evolved-hspa-data/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/3g-iphone-to-support-42mbps-evolved-hspa-data/Trust me on this one, the RAM can do a lot more than 42Mbps. It's actually closer to 2Gbps (source: Geekbench).
I strongly believe the flash inside the iPhone can do at least 40Mbps.]]>May 23rd 2008 7:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/3g-iphone-to-support-42mbps-evolved-hspa-data/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/3g-iphone-to-support-42mbps-evolved-hspa-data/Don't believe the V hype!

So yeah ... how can you say they are not any good? No one else offerse close to this.

Its even better than the AT&T unlimited plans in the US (also dont say "oh ... its not 3G" well neither is the current unlimited iphone plan on offer in the US.


Although isnt 42Mbps not specced yet? So how can the Iphone or telstra say it will work ? (therefore its most likley a fake). ]]>May 23rd 2008 5:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/3g-iphone-to-support-42mbps-evolved-hspa-data/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/3g-iphone-to-support-42mbps-evolved-hspa-data/May 23rd 2008 6:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/3g-iphone-to-support-42mbps-evolved-hspa-data/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/3g-iphone-to-support-42mbps-evolved-hspa-data/May 23rd 2008 5:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/3g-iphone-to-support-42mbps-evolved-hspa-data/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/3g-iphone-to-support-42mbps-evolved-hspa-data/

here is what we know:

1) There are ZERO phones on the market that I'm aware of that can even do 7.2mbps or 14.4mbps on regular HSDPA

2) Phones that can support the fast uplink of HSUPA are just now coming out in the next month.

3) The referenced 3G chipset found in the iPhone firmware doesn't even natively support HSUPA, so an included ability to do not just HSUPA but HSPA+ is unlikely.

Telstra actually offer the only unlimited data and SMS plan in Aus.

You really have not read about SkyPe http://www.skype.com/ have you. SkyPe has mobile phones and is heading towards 3G spirit but its a eBay company and eBay wants to sell it off cause they cannot develop it for use with eBay which is all they actually wanted from a phone service, to bad their option was SkyPe as I read about 'Panasonic VIERA PZ850 Internet-Ready HDTV' with all that it accesses ut theres no eBay access through it programmed into the TV so eBay would have to devise something of the order of a HDTV unit that would access the Internet for free as well as the free HDTV cntent and that goes into adding phone support into the unit so No eBay has much adverse planning, Skype is a failure for them and they expect to take a loss in selling it because its located in Germany making it much more difficult to comply to.]]>May 23rd 2008 7:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/3g-iphone-to-support-42mbps-evolved-hspa-data/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/3g-iphone-to-support-42mbps-evolved-hspa-data/That Fender Strat Guy @ May 23rd 2008 7:48AM
42mbps? Rubbish. 4.2mbps HSDPA, sure.

Yep, theres not even 48MBps software nor operating system so it is pulling its own weight nothing of the order that a 64MBps system couldn't match if Microsoft got a Yahoo Phone system in a deal with Yahoo then Google would have to go away to seek control of a phone so they have to get their own phone instead, they are not accessible with the HDTV's by Panasonic either so Google loses bigger by condending to overthrow Yahoo by controlling the stocks instead of outright purchasing it from Yahoo so their hopes for controlling Yahoo's board would fail and this ends Googles hopes for controlling Yahoo and Microsoft could make Yahoo bigger and better with Windows Seven instead which Google has nothing except a OS v2 browser OS System to match and nothing of the scale of 64MBps but anybody could install it if they had such a GOS.]]>May 23rd 2008 8:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/3g-iphone-to-support-42mbps-evolved-hspa-data/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/3g-iphone-to-support-42mbps-evolved-hspa-data/
