Vodafone Will Release Samsung SGH-ZV50 Cell Phone
Sponsored Links
Vodafone will soon release the SGH-ZV50 cell phone from Samsung. This phone will support the 1.4 Mbit/s HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) service that is announced by Vodafone earlier this year. Comes with a design similar to the v7400 phone, the ZV50 flip-phone offers a 262K colors LCD display, 40MB of internal memory with microSD card slot for extra storage, 2 megapixel camera module, and supposedly, integrated MP3 player.
High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) is a new mobile telephony protocol and is sometimes referred to as a 3.5G (or “3½G”) technology. In this respect it extends WCDMA in the same way that EV-DO extends CDMA2000. HSDPA provides a smooth evolutionary path for Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) networks allowing for higher data capacity (up to 14.4 Mbps in the downlink). It is an evolution of the W-CDMA standard, designed to increase the available data rate by a factor of 5 or more. HSDPA defines a new W-CDMA channel, the high-speed downlink shared channel (HS-DSCH) that operates in a different way from existing W-CDMA channels, but is only used for downlink communication to the mobile.

Samsung’s SGH-ZV50 cell phone will be available exclusively in Vodafone. They don’t mention the exact date, but I assume the “very soon” means late May or early June.
