T-Mobile's First HSPA+ Modem Goes On Sale Sunday 74
adeelarshad82 writes "T-Mobile announced that the webConnect Rocket USB Laptop Stick, the first HSPA+ device for the US, will be available beginning on Sunday, March 14. The device was originally announced at MWC in February. HSPA+ is interesting because it could enable 4G LTE-like speeds using existing 3G infrastructure and according to a hands-on, it smokes Wi-Max. Right now, it's still just for Philadelphia, although we should see several major cities light up with HSPA+ on both coasts well before the end of 2010."

Up here in Canada, we already have HSPA+ in urban areas... strange that we are so much in advance, we are known to usually adopt technologies well after the US...
Shhh .. the US likes top think that it gets all the cool new technologies first and that the rest of the world can barely use electric lights. If you let on that you have advanced technology then they will start to feel inadequate.

Good thing things really are getting that bad, otherwise you'd sound like a whiny little bitch.

Don't worry, the bits take so long to get there they'll never notice.

It's awesome that you have something we don't. Congrats. You're much better than we are. You rule. Now that you've heard that, maybe you can leave us the fuck alone already? Sheesh.
