Page 2 of 3 Ok, well, given that Optus and Vodafone are building out a 900MHz 3.5G HSDPA network across rural and regional Australia, to be completed by the end of 2008, Optus and Vodafone customers who want their shiny new 3G iPhones to work on data in rural and regional Australia will have to make do with GPRS web connections.Featured Whitepaper
5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
We’ll find out for sure on June 9, but perhaps Vodafone and Optus don’t care too much at this stage anyway – after all, the majority of customers are in the capital cities, and the 3G iPhone does work on the 2100MHz 3.5G HSDPA band, which Optus and Vodafone both support in the capital cities. Here are the details from Engadget on what’s supposedly inside the 3G iPhone: - Infineon PMB6952 / S-GOLD3 six-band UMTS / HSDPA transceiver - Murata LMRX3JCA-479 tri-band amplifier (Engadget is assuming for the 3G) - Sony SP9T antenna switch for GSM / UMTS dual mode - ARM 1176JZF-S - Main CPU (same as in 1st gen iPhone) - Skyworks 77427 chip - UMTS / HSDPA tx 1900MHz, rx 2100MHz - Skyworks 77414 chip - UMTS / HSDPA 1900MHz - Skyworks 77413 chip - UMTS / HSDPA 850MHz - Internal build model number: n82ap (1st gen iPhone was model m68ap) - UMTS Power Saving option - on or off - Hooks for Global Locate Library (GLL), software that handles A-GPS related commands for the host processor Will there be a REAL GPS chip in the 3G iPhone? I certainly hope so – A-GPS is nice and all, but it’s not real GPS. Unless Apple has pulled some extra magic to actually make A-GPS work as well as real GPS. So... all that’s left now for Australian iPhone aficionados to uncover is whether or not Telstra will also be selling the 3G iPhone – and whether Three Mobile will sell it too, on its 2100MHz network, too. But hey, even if Telstra and Three Mobile don’t, surely unlocking tools will soon become available to allow Australians – and 3G iPhone users worldwide – to use their iPhones on whatever compatible networks they want. Doesn’t Australia have unlocking laws, anyway? Please read on to page 3. |
