T-Mobile announced, just at Google debuted the Nexus One �superphone,� that its entire 3G network is now enabled with HSPA 7.2, and that it will be the first U.S. carrier to launch the 3.5G technology HSPA+. The Nexus One is available with T-Mobile service for $179.
As Google officially introduced its Nexus One smartphone on Jan. 5, T-Mobile thought you might like to know that its network is now really fast. And getting faster in 2010.
In a Jan. 5 statement, the carrier announced that it has enable HSPA 7.2 across its entire 3G network�which reaches 200 million Americans�and that it will be the first to launch HSPA+, a 3.5G technology, in the United States.
�While other carriers talk about 4G plans and the promise of compatible devices, T-Mobile will speed ahead with HSPA+ deployments across the bulk of its 3G footprint this year, delivering [three to five times] the speeds of today�s 3G,� T-Mobile wrote in the statement at the kickoff of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
It continued, �And the best thing about the HSPA+ upgrade is that it�s backward compatible, so that the T-Mobile 3G-enabled device being announced this week � it�s getting faster in 2010.�
T-Mobile told eWEEK in November that it launched a trial HSPA+ network in Philadelphia and has seen speeds even faster than those claimed by early 4G providers of WiMax and LTE.
Google is now offering the unlocked Nexus One for $529, or for $179 with a two-year contract with T-Mobile and a $79.99 monthly T-Mobile plan. Introducing the Nexus One, Google clarified that it wasn�t a smartphone, but a superphone.
In the spring, Google will also be offering a Nexus One that�s compatible with Verizon Wireless, as well as with Vodafone in the Europe.
