Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) and Finnish operator Elisa have successfully launched HSPA on the uplink in Elisa’s 3G network.
HSPA on the uplink (also known as Enhanced Uplink or HSUPA) allows data transfer speeds of 1.4 Mbps, more than three times the speed of traditional 3G networks. Higher bit rates for outgoing traffic improves the end-user experience of mobile broadband services such as video conferencing, file sharing and sending e-mails with attachments.
Panu Lehti, Executive Vice President at Elisa, says, “We will further speed up mobilization of internet services and applications for our customers e.g. with HSPA on the uplink.”
Janne Laitala, President, Ericsson Finland, says, “HSPA on the uplink is an important milestone in the evolution of HSPA and we are happy to take this step with Elisa. With the take-off of online communities and video-sharing services, greater uplink speed will add a new, mobile dimension to such activities.”
Samsung has just presented one more stylish slider phone with amazing performances. The SCH-W300 model will pack huge performances in its slim and fashionable case, just as the producer has gotten us used to seeing even in previous handsets.
Samsung SCH-W300 is only 12.9 mm thick, an excellent size for a slider phone and fairly small for one that manages to pack some of the most evolved performances out there. there are only few handsets capable of reaching the top data transfer speed of 7.2 Mbps through HSDPA. Samsung W300 is one of them, although not the first coming from this producer.
Samsung W300 is part of the Ultra Edition II mobile phones and also follows the slim and smooth design line of the previous handsets in this line. The phone also packs a 2 megapixel camera and a 2 inch display screen capable of providing a resolution of up to 240 x 320 pixels. These are not the main features of the cellular, as it proves best when it comes to media handling.
The phone also includes a media player capable of supporting a large number of files and also a microSD card slot, just to make sure that there is enough space available for storing all the personal content. Connectivity is also possible through Bluetooth.
Samsung W300 will soon be available for the price of USD 600L won (about USD 640).
