Posted on by

All you tech buffs in Australia, now 4G network is within your reach. HTC is taking the initiative of releasing a handset with 4G technology, so that users may not get left behind. We are talking about the launch of the first handset able to use Telstra’s 4G network, the HTC Velocity 4G.

Telstra states its 4G Long Term Evolution network is able to download speeds of 2-40Mbps which is what we would like to see in this new technology.

With barely anyone utilizing the 4G network at this moment, we would look forward to lightning fast rapid speeds, & we envisage they will decrease as more users will start using the 4G services.

However, with 4G speeds accessible on just 40% of Telstra’s network coverage; normally 5 kilometers from the GPO in capital towns, we expect speed to decrease out of 4G areas.

Interestingly, potential buyers of 4G handsets must make sure that they are within 4G coverage, and this can be done either by scrutinizing the network maps on Telstra’s site or by using a pal’s 4G handset or modem. Except you desire to stream bountiful amount of superior-quality video to your handset or possess huge quantity of information to upload or download, a 4G handset may be a costly and needless luxury.

Actually, a leaked roadmap for all the upcoming BlackBerry smartphones for 2012 is leaked, which initially excited us as we were keen to see all these new devices from Canadian mobile phone manufacturer. When we saw this list, we found that unfortunately there is nothing exciting scheduled for tech buffs. Well, this is surprising, given the situation in highly-competitive market.

However, this does not mean that they are sitting idle. Two new smartphones Curve 9220 and 9320 are ready to excite your senses. These handsets are prepared to bring some good news to the balance sheet of the Research in Motion. And, Bold 9790 and Curve 9380 white will let users be frenzy.

We actually expect something new from the company, as last year they have suffered loss in both trust and revenue. While Samsung and other manufacturers took advantage of the situation ( the outage of BlackBerry server), and accelerated their sales.

So, should we conclude that 2012 will not be great for the Canadian mobile phone producer? Maybe they should take some clue from Nokia who is trying really hard to make a comeback with exciting Lumia smartphones, and RIM shouldn’t take things so lightly. And, releasing a new operating system will not solve anything.
