BroadBand on Mobile (or HSDPA) is providing very much higher up and down-link as compared to 3G (see previous question). For example, a MP3 (approximately 1 min audio) of 1MB will take about 20 sec to download in 3G, but about 5 sec in 3.5G. a typical speed of 3.6Mbps (9 times faster than 3G) with a reduced response time, HSDPA offers advanced multimedia and high speed services with an overall better experience.

HSDPA is part of 3G but people have started referring it as 3.5G. Some other group has started referring to HSDPA as 'Super-3G' but they have proposed more enhancements (details below). See similar questions...

In theory they can be but it might not always be the case. According to The Register HSDPA is a power-hungry technology, and many of the base stations out there aren't up to the job. The key piece of technology is the power amplifier, which has to be a full power, 45-watt model, to handle the extra data output. See similar questions...

Ans: The term 3G refers to the next generation of wireless communications technology, the "first generation" having been analogue cellular, and the "second generation" (2g and 2.5G) being today's existing GSM/GPRS networks. 3G aims to provide universal, high-speed, high bandwidth support to bandwidth hungry applications such as full motion videos, video calling and full Internet access.

G stands for 'third generation', a generic wireless industry term for high speed mobile data delivery over cellular networks. 3G networks allow users to send and receive bandwidth-intensive information such as video. second generation networks (2G) evolve into third generation systems around the world, operators are offering users a variety of mobile data services including video messaging, breaking news, weather, sports, movie trailers, music clips and much more.

HSDPA is an enhancement to the 3G technology through which you can increase the DL data rates from 384Kbps (theoretically 2Mbps) to 10Mbps (theoretically 14Mbps). Here Kbps stands for Kilo bits per second and Mbps stands for Mega bits per second. HSDPA delivers higher capacity through improved spectral effeciancy, which provides higher data rates, shorter response times and better Qos (Quality of Service). See similar questions...

The most notable cosmetic differences of the new iPhone from its predecessor will be the back and the edges. The back of the iPhone 3G is plastic, as opposed to the metal backing of the original iPhone. Also, the top and bottom edges of the new iPhone are tapered. The side edges are slightly different as well. See similar questions...

Some operators have taken the path cdmaOne - cdma2000 1x - cdma2000 1x EV-DO - cdma2000 3x some D-AMPD - EDGE and some have chosen a GSM1900 - EDGE ( - possible UMTS) route. New cellular frequencies allocations have been postponed, so operators will have to use their existing frequencies, which naturally limits the available capacity.

China has been testing the TD-SCDMA 3G system. License allocation and possible adaptation of other 3G technologies are still open. Read more about the China's 3G situation. See similar questions...

Most people have their own view what the 3G Killer Application(s) will be. Some say that there will not be a single application, but a palette of services. Most likely there will not be only a single application that becomes very popular and at the same time makes a lot of money to the operator. Email, voice(!), messaging, music/video streaming are popular bets for money making applications. See similar questions...

Packet-based data provides several advantages over the existing circuit-switched techniques used for carrying mobile voice. It allows higher call volumes and support for multimedia data applications, such as video and photography. Users will be charged on how much data they transmit, not on how much time they are connected to the network, because with 3G you are constantly online and only pay for the information you receive.

Third generation technology will change the whole nature of what being a (telecommunications) carrier means" says Ericssons Director of Business Development Gunnar Blockmar, "It will also create a large number of new opportunities for content and service providers." G services sees the logical convergence of the two biggest technology trends of this decade and the next: the growth of the Internet and the penetration of mobile telephony. See similar questions...

GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) is a data service available to users of GSM mobile phones. It is often described as 2.5G, that is, a technology that is in between the second (2G) and third (3G) generations of mobile telephones. GPRS provides moderate speed data transfer, sufficient for example for transmission of short text passages and news excerpts, but it is not quite 3G. When 3G arrives, you will have online TV - and not just news reports - available on your wireless device ... See similar questions...

Third Generation (3G) is a term used to describe the next generation of mobile phone systems. The advanced technology includes internet access and the ability to view video footage. 2G, also known as GSM, is the current second generation technology. For further information see 3G Fact Sheet. For an in-depth technical briefing on how General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) and Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) systems work, please see the MOA's report. See similar questions...

The same use as that of Broadband connections at home. It would be possible to watch extremely good quality real time Videos, download complete song tracks in less than a minute. Do real time video conferencing with more than one user using very high quality video. Eventually the wireless operators plan that instead of having wired broadband at home, people will move to wireless broadband. The list is non exhaustive. See similar questions...

From 3GPP page http://www.3gpp.org/specs/titles-numbers.htm you can see specifications titles and versions. For example if you want to know about USIM, following titles can be seen: You need to FTP them for example from ftp://ftp.3gpp.org/specs/latest/ . You can also type that to IE5.0 or later or use FTP program. If you use IE5.0 select File - Copy to Folder from the top menu to copy file so your computer. See similar questions...
