T-Mobile's First HSPA+ Modem Goes On Sale Sunday
adeelarshad82 writes "T-Mobile announced that the webConnect Rocket USB Laptop Stick, the first HSPA+ device for the US, will be available beginning on Sunday, March 14. The device was originally announced at MWC in February. HSPA+ is interesting because it could enable 4G LTE-like speeds using existing 3G infrastructure and according to a hands-on, it smokes Wi-Max. Right now, it's still just for Philadelphia, although we should see several major cities light up with HSPA+ on both coasts well before the end of 2010."
US cell phone market is so pathetic... Here in Portugal, we have HSPA+ for a couple months now...
Up here in Canada, we already have HSPA+ in urban areas... strange that we are so much in advance, we are known to usually adopt technologies well after the US...
Shhh .. the US likes top think that it gets all the cool new technologies first and that the rest of the world can barely use electric lights. If you let on that you have advanced technology then they will start to feel inadequate.
I am Slashdot. Are you Slashdot as well?
I feel like we're in some Communist country...
Good thing things really are getting that bad, otherwise you'd sound like a whiny little bitch.
aren't there only 2 or 3 urban areas in canada?
Don't worry, the bits take so long to get there they'll never notice.
Live today, because you never know what tomorrow brings

Yep -- Detroit and Buffalo.
