T-Mobile release first mobile phone in UK with broadband internet speeds

T-Mobile is exclusively releasing the Samsung Z560 which will be the first non PDA/business device mobile phone available in the UK with broadband internet speeds.  It does this by connecting to T-Mobiles 3G network using HSDPA technology, giving users 4 times faster connection speeds than traditional 3G services – that’s 1.8 megabits per second connection speeds!

The mobile can also be connected to your computer and be used as a modem; this allows you to take advantage of instant messaging and voice over IP (VoIP) services.  T-Mobile is the first to market a standard mobile phone that allows people to view the entire internet at broadband speed. 

The Samsung Z560 is a light weight handset weighing in at 98g with MP3 player, video recorder, 2 megapixel camera and 30MB internal memory.  It is available from free up to £139.99 and is available on a range of Web n Walk plans which allow unlimited web browsing for a set fee per month. 

There is also Web n Walk Plus which also gives you unlimited internet on your laptop with instant messenger, and Web n Walk Max which gives you unlimited internet on your laptop with VoIP.

The announcement of the release of the Samsung Z560 adds more fuel to the fire of the burgeoning Three X Series (released on 1st December) vs. Web n Walk war.  With broadband internet being available on more popular standard mobile phone styles it will certainly be a boost to T-Mobile’s cause.
