New Phones Deliver Speedier HSDPA Downloads

South Korea's three big cell phone makers are speeding the path to higher speed data downloads over wireless network.

"...The phones are appearing as Korea's carriers begin switching on the latest upgrades and increasing transmission speed. The same thing is happening elsewhere in the world.

With the upgrades to 7.2M bps the HSDPA technology isn't done yet. Future upgrades are envisaged to boost speeds to 14.4M bps and work is continuing on a new generation that will push speeds even higher. There's also a companion technology called HSUPA (high-speed uplink packet access) that can boost upload speeds from phones to the network. These networks generally offer around 2M bps at present."
