SMS Text News reports that UK mobile operators T-Mobile, 3 and Vodafone have confirmed plans to begin rolling out High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) technology in the UK by the end of the year. HSUPA is up to four times faster than HSDPA.
Read on in the full article.
Are there any handsets out or on the horizon that actually support HSUPA?
iPhone v2.0 will support HSUPA - does your precious Nokia/Symbian platform have anything to offer? NO.
What an idiot. Are Apple actually paying you to go araround promoting their product on other unrelated sites?
If not, then you need to evaluate your priorities and ask yourself why you are dedicating so much time too idolising them.

Sorry,
The above post was 'a bit' harsh. Did not intend to be insulting...

MacBoy makes a bizarre statement, comparing a phone that isn't available yet to a phone that isn't available yet.
I think he protest too much.
The previous "Macboy" was a fake, probably a Symbian fanboi. The iPhone v2.0 will support standards that is common and widely available at that time. It's time to realize that Apple doesn't compete in the length of feature lists or techno buzzwords but in smooth user experience.
Fake Macboy with your login and password allowing him to post as Macboy.
Must have been Steve how else could they be logging in as Macboy 😊

That article is a bit misleading, HSUPA is complimentary to HSDPA and not a replacement. It should improve upload as opposed to download speeds, e.g. uploading photos to the Web.

I have seen some upcoming HTC Windows Mobile PDA phones with HSUPA mentioned.
"That article is a bit misleading, HSUPA is complimentary to HSDPA and not a replacement. It should improve upload as opposed to download speeds, e.g. uploading photos to the Web."
You're absolutely right, HSDPA improves the speed of data into your phone and HSUPA improves the speed going out. They're two halves of the same coin, not competitors at all.
Having high upload and download should also improve internet call quality, if you're using VOIP over 3G.
"The iPhone v2.0 will support standards that is common and widely available at that time. It's time to realize that Apple doesn't compete in the length of feature lists or techno buzzwords but in smooth user experience."
Why is it that every single Apple fan that ever posts on here always says "user experience"? Have they been briefed to use this phrase as often as possible?
You say you don't have time for techno buzzwords, but you seem very keen on meaningless hype.
LOL user experience is not a techno buzzword, it's the reality when you use a device..
HSUPA will also help with the higher category's of HSDPA if/when they are deployed. It should remove the bottle neck of sending TCIP/IP acknowledgments, which can limit your download speed. if you are downloading at 7.3Mb you need a pretty quick up link to send all those TCP ack's, certainly quicker than 384kb.
Super 3G : Wow , I'm still waiting for my operator to upgrade to EDGE 😡
GSM on my side of town would be nice.
