T-Mobile: HSPA+ Phones, Personal Routers Coming

At their press conference here at the CTIA Wireless 2010 trade show, T-Mobile gave away some hints about their upcoming product roadmap.

Smartphones with high-speed HSPA+ chipsets will arrive in the “second half of this year,” CTO Cole Brodman said. HSPA+, now available in parts of four cities, will roll out to 100 cities this year, according to T-Mobile. In my tests in Philadelphia, I got speeds up to 7.65 megabits/sec down.

T-Mobile will also roll out “personal hotspots” similar to Novatel’s MiFi, Brodman said. He didn’t give any further details about the personal hotspots.
