T-mobile UK finally limps out the door with HSDPA

WOOOOOOOSAAAAAAHHHHH

WOOOOOOOSAAAAAAHHHHH

BREATHE DEEPLY. Control the annoyance. Box it.

I am apoplectic. Again!

I went out and got a T-Mobile MDA Pro last year. November I think. I did so off the back of news items from T-mobile UK assuring that they would have HSDPA (i.e. ‘fast’) mobile internet live by January 2006.

Come March this year, I posted a note wondering where exactly this vapourwear service was.

Well Modaco carried a story yesterday with details from The Register’s Hardware section on the news.

Apparently we’ll have 1.8mb mobile data by August 2006. If we do, well, I’ll eat my edible hat. The Register piece also reckons that we’ll have 20mb/sec mobile data by 2011. You never know!

I’m actually quite delighted with the current T-mobile service. That, combined with ShoZu uploading whenever it can, works perfectly well for me at the moment.

I’m sure there will come a time when I will absolutley insist on my 10mb videos uploading in miliseconds though.
