AT&T SMT5700, HSUPA/HSDPA data cards all show themselves
Out of everything on this road map, the AT&T SMT5700 has been probably the most sly. Ducking the BG paparazzi, we’ve only seen one live shot of it. It’s supposed to positioned at a $99 price point and should be available with and without a camera. It looks like it will be running Windows Mobile 6 Standard and top out with EDGE with an October 9th release. Not content with launching a low-end EDGE device, AT&T is obsconding with the Sierra Wireless AC881 (PCMCIA card, HSDPA), Sierra Wireless AC881u (USB), Option HSUPA (ETNA), and Option HSUPA Express data cards. We’re not sure why AT&T is going ahead and launching HSUPA data cards when they’re network isn’t even upgraded to 3.6MBit HSDPA, but you can’t blame them for wanting everything in place. Well, no. Because using that logic, AT&T wouldn’t opt to remove every single front-facing camera from their whole lineup, and be ready for 2-way Video Calling.
I wonder which Suit up in ATT corporate HQ thinks it’s such a marvellous idea to have a 3G network but no Front Facing Camera in the tytn 1 & 2. He’s probably some 50 yr old virgin with an MBA. I dare him to respond to this comment on why….
Because that’s what ur company does. Limit phone and drop ur calls..lol.. Tmo is the only gsm way
I’d rather drop a call than have no coverage at all.
T-Mobile SUCKS!!!!!
I love it when the twentysomething, pot smoking slackers get upset because they’re misunderstood by the $40 billion enterprise.
Clearly, they’re doing things all wrong…
hey now bye_bye_jack…just tryin to get a rise outta the ATT corporates by attacking their mojo…usually works… every once and a while a blog comment must be posted that pushes the envelope, to shock to powerful into action!
tmobile is a decent service that does not F*** you in the A** with out any lube, but i get no covrage where i live, i agree with rajja. but ATT is getting the sexy new pantech 810, it makes me warm in a whole bunch of places just thinking of it.
As the above comments were so enlightening, please tell me that “supersession” is not really supposed to be “supercedes”. Does “supersession” have a specific meaning or is it a particular term of art?
