HSDPA

This is the first mobile phone that I have read about that uses the 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon mobile processor. The Toshiba TG01 in all its goodness will be encased in a thin 9.9mm body. Some of the features include HSDPA, GPS, microSD slot and of course Wifi. The TG01 cell phone sports a big 4.1 inch 800×480 pixel touchscreen display.

The specifications are actually what you’d expect in a business-centric mobile phone but I was just wondering how on earth can it be perfect for Smart’s new HSPDA network when the Blackberry Bold only supports up to 3.6 Mbps?

So I went and check out some other mobile phones that can theoretically use the 7 Mbps network speed (I say theoritically because, the actual speed depends on a lot of factors).
