Slacker, I believe the Samsung phone to be based on the MSM6275, like the LG handset recently demo`d with Nortel. I recall reading that Samsung is to have an MSM6280-based phone commercially available by year-end, featuring a speed tweak to a peak rate of 7.2Mbps. According to a May, 2004 PR, the 6280 was to sample in the second half of 2005. To get a commercial handset on the market by year end, how much would that sampling date need to be accelerated?

Samsung and LG HSDPA ... Slacker, << Samsung has a HSDPA handset on display at CeBIT ... I cant remember a handset manufacturer ready to display a unit only three months after a chipset began sampling. >> Koreans are pretty quick to socket a chip and annonce product. Hopefully they bring the phones to market quicker than other models they have announced and shown at CeBIT. In March 2003 in Hannover Samsung showed the MSM6200 based SGH-Z100 which they were trialing at Vodafone Spain (initially announced November 2002), and LG showed the LG-U8100. Do you know if the model shown has the QUALCOMM MSM6275 or if it has the Samsung developed 'SBM5100'? I'm assumming that it's the MSM6275 since supposedly according to the March 7 Korea IT News: "having developed an HSDPA handset adopting 1.8Mbps 'MSM6275' chipset of Qualcomm, Samsung Electronics recently conducted test service with SK Telecom using its new handset... The company also developed 'SBM5100', a core modem chip for HSDPA phones, by itself." tinyurl.com This clip puts a diferent spin on this, but they don't always get things correct: Although Samsung Electronics' HSPDPA phone contains a company-designed chip, LG Electronics' phone has a Qualcomm-developed MSM 6275 chip. ... "Major global mobile telecommunication companies have been asking us about our recently-developed HSDPA phone," said Park Mun-hwa, president of LG Electronics' cellphone division. - JoonAng - tinyurl.com - Eric -
