We have four of the Japan’s finest companies that decided to play together in order to create a SH-Mobile G4 single-chip LSI device. Wow, that’s so cool, I will want two or three of those!

Seriously speaking, NTT DoCoMo, Renesas, Fujitsu and Sharp are working on a handset which will have GSM/GPRS/EDGE support and HSUPA/HSDPA/W-CDMA standards. The Japanese companies are getting ready a cell phone that’s going to offer HSUPA speeds of up to 5.7Mbps and HSDPA speeds of up to 7.2Mbps. The devices will come with 45-nm processors, 3D graphics support, HD support and more. The SH-Mobile G4 will arrive in 2010, which is a long long time from now. Maybe too long!

In a rather awesome move, Asus has added a fairly significant feature to one of its netbooks completely free of charge for future customers – built-in 3G HSUPA connectivity. This will be available to the 8.9” Eee PC 901 model; the chip will be in all 901s that ship starting October.

The HSUPA chip will allow users to get download/upload speeds of up to 7.2/2 Mbps using AT&T’s network in the US. The 901 packs a 7.5 hour battery life and retails for around $500 at most retailers.

It appears that the HTC Fuze for AT&T has cleared the tall gates of the FCC. The device, bearing FCC ID NM8RPLT, is a PDA phone supporting HSUPA 850/1900MHz networks. As with some of the cooler gadgets, the manufacturers have put in special requests to block the device photos from being published on a public website such as that of the FCC.

Anyway, it’s got the usual goodies like Bluetooth, so when it hits the mainstream, we will know more - so you’ll know more. We promise.

Samsung, South Korea’s largest conglomerate and one of the largest mobile device corporation in the world, has released the first ever HSUPA enabled phone. HSUPA is obviously a new technology and is a perfect compliment to HSDPA that we are now currently using.

HSUPA allows users upload speeds of up to 2Mbps. This is a very significant feature as lots of user created content is made on mobile devices these days.

Other feature highlights of the slider-style Samsung SCH-M470 include 2MP camera, Wifi, Bluetooth 2.0, push email and Google Search.

The Samsung SCH-M470 has a price of about $600 in Korea
