The Korean manufacturer Samsung loves superlatives. Most end, the first 5M pixels, the first WiMax, and now the first smartphone with support HSUPA. Indeed, the Samsung SCH-M470 supports upload very high speed with the new standard HSUPA. It runs on Windows Mobile and features a 2M pixel camera, bluetooth, WiFi, and a numeric keypad.

Recall that High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) is a protocol for third-generation mobile (3G) whose specifications have been published by the 3GPP in the “realease 6″ standard UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System).
HSUPA is a variant of HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) on the uplink. HSUPA, which was presented as the successor to HSDPA, bringing the flow amount (Uplink) to 5.8 Mbps theoretical flow down (Downlink) is 14 Mbit / s as HSDPA.

The value of HSUPA is to offer the possibility of making the content easily bulky (photos, audio, video) to other mobile but also to share platforms on the Internet. This technology allows the declination of Web 2.0 on the mobile Internet. These technological developments on the mobile access network also supports the development of pages tailored to the mobile Web players such as 2.0 or Dailymotion MySpace.

In France, the first communication HSUPA took place in September 2007 on the SFR network with the assistance of the Alcatel-Lucent equipment. [1]. Traders french deploy this technology in the first half of 2008.

The device is marketed in Korea for about US $ 650, and we doubt that it happens one day in our lands.
