With the recent release of the uber-smartphone from HTC, we’re squirming in our seats for AT&T to bring us the HTC Kaiser TyTn II P4550 as the AT&T Tilt. The HTC Kaiser will be the most bad-ass smartphone on the market – with integrated GPS, quad-band GSM with tri-band UMTS (HSDPA makes this thing 3.5G), 3 megapixel autofocus camera, Bluetooth 2.0, 256MB ROM/128MB RAM, WiFi b/g, 2.8 inch display, Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional, and of course, that trick tilt-up keyboard, it’s not hard to see why.
One thing that was missing, however, was the inclusion of HSUPA. We kind of expected the mother of all smartphones to get HSUPA high-speed upload speeds of 1.4Mbps to complement the HSDPA connectivity, but the launch details didn’t make any mention of such luck. However, it seems there might still be some HSUPA goodies in the cards. French carrier Orange has released an HSUPA upgrade roadmap for it’s handset lineup – and it seems to indicate that the HTC TyTn II Kaiser P4550 will support HSUPA data connections once Orange’s infrastructure is up to speed, as it were.
How great would it be to get HSUPA upload-speeds with our AT&T Tilt? It’s nice to dream.
