So who's off to Barcelona to see what the handsets are about then?

NTT DoCoMo and its eight regional subsidiaries unveiled three prototype High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) handsets developed with Fujitsu, Motorola and NEC, respectively. The HSDPA services are expected to begin between July and September 2006.

HSDPA is said to be a key technology for making mobile broadband possible, representing the next step in evolution from UMTS, and offering merits in both performance and commercial feasibility. The companies also said that HSDPA has superior spectrum efficiency, whereby it can support higher data traffic than UMTS and mobile broadband speeds for more users.

HSDPA, a high-speed packet transmission technology standardized by the Third Generation Partnership Project, offers a theoretical maximum downlink speed of about 14Mbps. Currently, the prototype handsets have maximum speeds of 3.6Mbps, which is ten times faster than current 3G FOMA handsets. HSDPA is expected to facilitate powerful new services by enabling high-volume downloads and the viewing of highly rich content.

The handsets will be demonstrated at the DoCoMo booth at the 3GSM World Congress 2006 in Barcelona, Spain from February 13 to 16, 2006.
