The T-Mobile carrier has decided to be the first one to deliver HSPDA technology for the UK mobile phone users. This is going to be done with the help of the Samsung Z560 handset which will offer 3G broadband access to any user that decides to buy it in the coverage area. The phone is also going to be a serious alternative to the Sony Ericsson Walkman phone line-up, if one considers the fact that the Z560 is going to have an integrated music player offering the ability to share the played music through a pair of embedded speakers.

Future users will be able to browse the internet, access the email account and transfer files at speeds of up to 1.8 MB per second if they decide to get a Web 'n' Walk service package from the carrier that will cost them 7.50 £ per month.

One will also be provided with a 2 megapixel digital camera, an MP3 player with 3D stereo surround, video streaming capabilities, 30 MB of built-in memory, almost an hour of video recording and video calling. This is a nice set of features if one also knows that this is a mobile phone weighing only 98 grams, but that is still capable to give high-speed web browsing and instant messaging for one's laptop after a deposit of 12.50 £ in T-Mobile's bank account.

This is a cell phone that T-Mobile has launched with the hope of attracting more business class users that might get lured into this by the extra browsing speed offered when using it as a modem for their laptop or personal computer. Let's keep our fingers crossed for them and wait to see if that really happens, although I have a bad feeling about it.
