Universal + WM6 supports HSDPA?

[yasunari]

Hi all,

Is it possible for Universal to support HSDPA by upgrading to WM6?

I thought Universal can support HSDPA just like Hermes... My Universal was delivered just 2 weeks ago, and I'm migrating my data from Hermes to Universal just now. After setting up everything, I found this problem...

Any suggestion for this situation?? (I love big screen and useful keyboard that the reason why I changed from Hermes to Universal.)

No, it won't support it ever.

I'm afraid different hardware is required for HSPDA.

Sorry.

And I'm planning switching to Hermes! :)

You won't ever have HSDPA with this machine.

The question though is whether you really need HSDPA or now. Apart from using your PPC as a modem you should be on the safe side for most browsing / downloading senarios. The QVGA resolution of the Hermes makes the device a whole lot less usable for many things like web browsing, PDF / Office files (Excel at 320*240 = not fun!) and ebooks. That said the Hermes ain't half bad either of course - I just don't get HTCs policy to not include a VGA screen in such a high end (/ priced) device. Guess it will remain their secret forever...

well there would be no sense in putting a VGA display on (guessing; may be wrong) 2,8" display of Hermes.

Thanks all. I'll return to use Hermes then.

By the way, what is the option for people who need mobile phone with qwerty Keyboard, VGA screen, VM6 and HSDPA??
Another mobile? or Modify universal?!

None at the moment.

Btw, the upside of a QVGA device is the smaller size. And QVGA devices are very much usable with web browsing using Opera Mini.. Not to mention that you won't need a stylus for most QVGA devices now.

But if you do excel sheets a lot. Stick to VGA.

Hmmm..... Pity about the RAM. I cannot think why someone would build a new davice with only 64 Meg.

Some devices have 840x480 at that screen size. Granted though that it's a bit overkill ;-)
