List of HSPA enabled phones

The HSPA network is growing. Consumers are more familiar with HSDPA connectivity which refers more to a download service. HSPA completes the cycle with faster upload services, called aptly as HSUPA. Here is a listing of mobile phones that are compatible with the HSPA network – meaning they do both downloads and uploads.

Included in the list are the Apple iPhone 3G, the HTC TyTn II. Not included are newer phone models such as the Nokia XpressMusic 5800.

The list is still not complete as new phones are being rolled out for this 2009.

Bluetooth, GPS, HSPA, WiFi — let’s turn it into a package!

As a tech journalist, I repeatedly have to write about the mobile phone industry and almost sound like a broken record when it comes to naming specs for mobile phones. Bluetooth, WiFi, HSDPA, Song ID, GPS with geotagging and facetagging are all common connectivity options we see in today’s stable of phones. Most, if not all, are starting to sport the same standard features. What am I driving at here?

Remember when the Centrino package was launched many years ago? It wasn’t a processor, but a total marketing platform for Intel to show that when something is labeled as a Centrino, it isn’t just the processor we’re talking about but several other options geared towards mobile computing such as wireless connectivity and decent battery life. Why can’t we do the same with mobile phones?

There are certain implications when we see phones branded as “Nseries” or “XpressMusic” or “Live and Loud” or “this runs on Android” … the XpressMusic series always connote that the phone has a separate audio processor and a guaranteed 3.5mm audio jack. Why can’t it work for connectivity? Because not all XpressMusic phones have WiFi!

So instead of having to say that this or that new phone comes with a plethora of connectivity options and features, we could just say that this mobile phone is certified as well .. err .. a “Blentrino.” And that would mean a total connectivity package – Bluetooth, WiFi, HSPA, GPS!

Worth it? C’mon!
