The AP has a story about Sprint updating its HTC Mogul smartphone to run on the EV-DO Rev A network. This is the fastest-available CDMA data access speed. So far, this connection speed has been reserved for laptop aircards only.
Here's the entire AP article
NEW YORK - Sprint Nextel Corp. is upgrading one of its cell phone models so that it can connect to a faster data network, doubling its download speeds and boosting upload speeds by about eight times.
Both Sprint and Verizon Wireless operate so-called EV-DO Rev. A networks, but have used them only for laptop cards. Their fastest phones have used the older and slower EV-DO Rev. 0 network.
Sprint said Monday it was releasing a software update for the Mogul phone, made by HTC Corp. of Taiwan, that will enable the phone to connect at Rev. A speeds. Downloads speeds should be 600 kilobits per second to 1,400 kbps, up from a range of 400 kbps to 700 kbps with Rev. 0. It will be capable of uploads of 350 to 500 kbps, up from 50 kbps to 70 kbps.
Sprint said its broadband network now covers 234 million people, and the vast majority of it has been upgraded to EV-DO Rev. A, short for Evolution-Data Optimized Revision A.
The Mogul is a smart phone that runs Windows Mobile software and can be used as a modem for a laptop. It costs $199.99 with a two-year contract and went on sale in June. The software update will be available immediately from HTC's site.
Verizon Wireless has not announced a phone using Rev. A. Spokeswoman Brenda Raney said the main advantage of Rev. A is higher upload speeds, which is important to laptop users but less so for cell-phone users.
AT&T Inc. already sells phones that use its fastest network technology, known as HSDPA, for High-Speed Downlink Packet Access. Its listed download speed is the same as EV-DO Rev. A, with a slightly higher upload speed.
As for why Rev A has been limited to aircards until now, well, there are a few possibilities. The only one that makes sense is that Sprint and Verizon wanted to do as much as possible to boost aircard sales and activations. If you can say that it offers your absolute highest connection speed, that'd be a good way to do that. Now that Rev A has been around on the cards for quite some time maybe they feel like they can boost sales is other areas (ie smartphones) by applying the same technique - now enabled with the highest-possible connection speed available.
I'm excited to see what handsets can take advantage of Rev A next. Like BlackBerrys. Please?

When my clients ask me if there is anything they can do to tweak the performance of their internet connections to speed up web browsing, this is the first trick of the trade that I show them. They’ re always pleased with the results, especially for the price (it’ s completely free!).
Here are some tests done by pc magazine of Apache running on Osx and Xserve with WebBench. As you can see, the results are very strong, something completely different to what AnandTech tries to make us believe. That’ s very strange that the resutlts are so different. Pc magazine has tested Panther, and as Tiger has got ride of the funnels (Tiger implements fine grained lovcking), the performance may be even better. So what is going on here????
If you use your PC for work, don’ t use it for play, or allow family members to use it for play. Personal experiences show that the most common ways viruses, spyware, and other bad stuff gets on people’ s PC’ s is through“ play” stuff. This includes downloaded screensavers. Screensavers are NOT SAFE. This includes MP3 downloading programs, like Kazaa, Gator, and ALMOST ALL OTHERS. This includes“ Joke” animations that friends appear to send to you. This basically includes almost anything you might consider...
They describe themselves as the“ only online dictionary and search engine you need for computer and Internet technology definitions” ? and they’ re right!
D- dimer blood test. Having high levels of the clot- dissolving substance D dimer in your blood may suggest an increased likelihood of blood clots, although D- dimer levels may be elevated by other factors, including recent surgery. Drawing the blood takes just a few minutes, and the risks? which include slight bleeding or a small accumulation of blood at the puncture site? are minor. The results are available in less than an hour. Normal test results are actually much more meaningful than abnormal ones. That’ ...
Thanks Steve, I think the problem may be that you’ re using permalinks, and specifically, that you were using permalinks since before stattraq started recording data. The result is that there are no records in the database with a post ID; and consequently we see the error.

I finally got around to fixing the errors that were in this blog caused by using MS Word as my editor, (I finally got around to looking at my blog and seeing them). It seems, and I should have known this, that the curly double close quote isn't compatible in here, it leaves a box, and gives validators a headache and ruins my RSS.
