The First HSDPA Phone!

Samsung’s SGH-Z560 is an HSDPA/UMTS/GSM/GPRS/EDGE tri-band mobile that offers a full spectrum of services so that you can connect to the fastest provider available in your area. At the forefront of the HSDPA revolution the SGH-Z560 connects with the fastest high speed data rates available so that you can download large files, watch streaming video, or make a video phone call.

The SGH-Z560 comes with a lead to connect it with your computer and software that you can use to synchronise its calendar with your desktop. There is quite a range of additional on board software. The calendar is augmented in a group labelled Organiser by the ability to set three independent alarms, a task manager and the ability to write a 100 character memo note to yourself.

The music player itself delivers quite good quality sound, but there is a real irritation in that you have to use Samsung’s headphones as they connect to the handset via the same proprietary connector that is used for mains power and connecting to a PC. You may have headphones with a 3.5mm jack you would rather use, but that’s just too bad.

The Samsung SGH-Z560 has imaging covered, paring a 2.0 megapixel auto-focus camera with a 2.3″ QVGA internal screen, and performs equally well with audio, including dual speakers and a MP3/AAC/AAC+/Real/WMA compatible music player and control keys on the front of the flip. To store all this multimedia goodness, the SGH-Z560 includes 30MB of on board memory and a microSD expansion slot

With several carriers rolling out HSDPA services in Europe, the Samsung SGH-Z560 should be commercially available during Q2 this year. While Cingular is currently upgrading its network for HSDPA, no US version of the handset has been announced.
