Or maybe not.
The vibration profile has three settings, light, moderate, and tentacle rape.
As well, five handsets can be assembled to complete the Master Grade Super Saiyan Cellular Mecha Happy Smile Time Bot.
Other features include the odd compulsion of North American phones to make feeble attempts to emulate the 4G phone's wallpapers and ringing in broken, grammatically incorrect bastardizations of it's ringtones.
And of course, Hello Kitty faceplates. As standard equipment.
Used school girl panties in vending machines? What the hell am I doing here in Canada?
Christ!
And Hello Kitty faceplates. Where do I sign up?
Really though, it is called FASTER, FASTER, FASTER!
My 2 cents.
GPRS is 2.5G,
EDGE is 2.75G,
UTMS is 3G,
HDSPA is 3.5G
4G is the successor to 3G (obviously 😛) and it will be capable of Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11) speeds. Wi-Fi speeds are 10MB/second and up with the current highest being 54MB/second and soon to be 108MB/second.
HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) is an upgrade for WCDMA (UMTS) networks. It doubles network capacity and increases download data speeds five-fold.

For those behind a firewall...
Japan's NTT DoCoMo is busy testing 4G wireless technology (we're still using 2G here in the US) and has achieved a milestone, a 1Gbps data download speed while moving at 20km/h.
1Gbps while moving is a new record. The same speed while stationary has been reached by both Siemens and DoCoMo in the recent past.
While 3G is a fairly broad term and is not even close to being standard yet, DoCoMo's research into 4G is still very interesting.
The 1Gbps real-time packet transmission was realized through Variable Spreading Factor-Spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (VSF-Spread OFDM) radio a...
