First Cingular HSPDA Phone Out!

Cingular has announced the launch of its first HSPDA-enabled handsets, which can run on the network’s High Speed Downlink Packet Access.

Via PCWorld:

HSDPA was launched by Cingular late last year, but so far Cingular customers have been able to use it only on notebook PCs with PC Card or built-in modems. The network offers typical downstream speeds of 400 kilobits per second to 700 kbps, with burst speeds as high as 1 megabit per second, according to the carrier.

The mobile is the LG CU500, a thin and lightweight clamshell that is capable of playing/streaming and 15 frames per second of video, a well as record on the same framerate through its 1.3-megapixel camera. The phone’s memory can be expanded via microSD. The CU500 also supports MP3, WMA, AAC and AAC+ formats for music playback. Users would find external music controls and support for Bluetooth stereo headsets convenient.

The phone is priced at $99.99 (after $50 rebate) with a 2-year Cingular contact.
