Cingular announces 3G plans

I'm starting to like the new Cingular/AT&T more and more, especially when they start talking about their plans for expanding their 3G Network.

They are saying their Ericsson equipment will offer data speeds of 400-700 Kbps and the theoretical limit for the e/// equipment will be 14 Mbit/s!

I have a Nokia 6630 on order (already available in Scandanavia) and although I am sure it's not tweaked to go anywhere near that fast, I can't wait for it to pick up test towers with those speeds, assuming Cingular configures their gateway to test that handset.

In other Cingular news, I went to a Cingular store the other day, and they are expecting the EDGE capable Sony Ericsson S710's to start showing up after the first of the year. I currently think the S710 has the best camera on a phone available outside of Asia.
