Hidden internal documents found on Cingular's web site confirms that the company plans to launch a nationwide 3G network on November 1st. The markets in the initial launch include: Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Portland, Salt Lake City, San Diego, San Francisco / San Jose / Oakland, Seattle / Tacoma and Washington / Baltimore / NoVa. Some of these markets are large overlapping metro areas.
According to Phone Scoop, "Cingular expects throughput speeds of 220-320 Kbps on the network, which is slower than what HSDPA is capable of, however the Sierra Aircard 860 is an HSDPA specific device, lending credibility to Cingular's statements that the network would be HSDPA on launch."
Coincidentally, the FCC web site let slip that a second new Motorola RAZR 3G phone has been approved for the U.S. Market, the Motorola RAZR V3x, as detailed on techarati.com two weeks ago, and on phonescoop.com today.
