Samsung ZX-30 : Who ? What ? When ? Where ? How ?

Does anyone even know the differences between the 30 and the 20?

Here is an article briefly discussing it:

Also this article mentions Cingular's network capabilities, although Cingular might have some caps on the speeds available now, naturally :

Not on Samsung's tech train, not on FCC Gulfoss, not qualified with the bluetooth organization...

Wishfull thinking made of model number?

That's correct. The network is capable of 3.6 Mbps HSDPA there just haven't been any PC cards or phones with that class of HSDPA yet.

For the mobile devices it is the chipset that needs to be updated with the faster codes to allow transmission of data that fast (it was the same with EDGE at it's launch). The network often needs updated software to allow for the increased data speeds as well. Not to mention the sites need to have enough t1s to allow that much data. I wouldn't be surprised if the transport on some sites are not upgraded to allow for the full HSDPA speeds, since they all are not likely to need it.

I believe that there are other software releases after that.

Category 8 : ~7.2 mbps
Category 10 : ~14.4 mbps

There are also HSUPA upgrades to increase the uplink speed.

Cingular has really chosen a golden technology, it is future proof, until the next break through technology appears.
