Samsung demonstrates first 3.6Mbps HSDPA cellphone

Step aside Option 'cause Samsung is showing off their 3.6Mbps HSDPA handset at CES. That makes Samsung the first kids on the block with a handset capable of speeds beyond 1.8Mbps. Like Option, Samsung is using the same Qualcomm MSM6280 chipset to achieve these speeds. And like we've said before, don't expect these, or theoritcal 10Mbps HSDPA speeds from Cingular's BroadbandConnect network on day one. Still, it's nice to know that the promise of real HSDPA speed is out there in the not too distant future.
