Apple iPhone UMTS/HSDPA
Release year: 2008
Phone, iPod, and Internet in one fast 3G device. With fast 3G wireless technology, Maps with GPS, support for business features such as Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, and the new App Store, iPhone 3G delivers even more amazing features. And just like the original iPhone model, it combines three products in one: a revolutionary phone, a widescreen iPod, and an extraordinary Internet device with HTML email and full web browsing. iPhone 3G redefines once again what you can do with a mobile phone. Email on iPhone looks and behaves just like email on your computer. Thanks to support for major mail servers and providers - including MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, Yahoo! Mail, Google Gmail, and AOL - and for most IMAP or POP systems, with iPhone you'll always have your mail in your pocket.

Connectivity notes: 3G technology uses a protocol called HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) to quickly transfer data over UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) networks. 3G networks allow you to load email attachments and web pages up to twice as fast as 2G EDGE networks. And since iPhone 3G seamlessly switches from EDGE, to the faster 3G standard, to extremely fast Wi-Fi, you can always use the fastest connection available. iPhone 3G complies with worldwide standards for cellular telecommunications, so you can make calls and browse the Web in almost every part of the world. And if you're in an area without 3G coverage, iPhone connects you via GSM for calls and via EDGE for data.
