Default HSUPA

I've looked all over the internet and cant find any place that confirms or denies that this phone is HSUPA compatible.

I did a speed test this morning on my way to work and got 2457 down and only 170 up. Thats a pathetic upload speed. I'm guessing from that speed that the phone is not HSUPA. But AT&T has been having problems with their HSUPA software since the iphone4 launched and maybe my low upload speeds are because of that?

With that low of an upload speed it'll take forever to upload photos in MMS or to facebook and would take a lifetime to upload a 720p video to youtube.

i can tell you that the upload is pathetic compared to my iPhone 4 in the same apartment. Download speeds are comparable, but upload seems to cap out around 150k.

On my HSUPA iphone the uploads cap around 1.1mb

I think that info is also on the back of the box. Not sure as I'm not at home right now.

These phone's are addicting! The more tweaks/apps etc. I read about the more I have to cram into my phone! Can my phone overdose???

It doesn't have HSUPA. Or if it does, it's not turned on. Let us only hope that the radio supports it and an update will turn it on.

No, on the box it just says quad band GSM and lists the bands and then it says tri band umts and lists the bands. It doesnt mention hsdpa or hsupa on the box.

Plus, with AT&T's network crapping out on hsupa right after the iphone4 launched who knows what the problem is, possibly the phone has it but the network is broken.

Really, with as much as I hate AT&T, I'm thinking they are crippling upload speeds in congested areas because certain parts of the country are still getting hsupa speeds on their iphone4's.

I'm a noob to Android but my screen reads Network HSDPA
RSSI: SIgnalStrength 16-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 gsm
The first number changer between 16 and 8 others numbers stay 1
FWIW First number went to as low as 4
Speed test was 3057 down 394 upload

HSUPA is currently tuned off in many (most?) AT&T markets right now until they address a so called software issue.

Nobody ready about this?

I've read of someone on their captivate getting over 1mbit, and that is obviously HSUPA, but I don't think he was in an area where the lucent equipment is in use that is causing the AT&T upload issue.

Ooops, I guess someone pointed this out...
