After we’ve seen WIND’s upcoming 3G handsets get leaked it’s time to see what HSPA smartphones will Bell launch in the near future. If you happen to live in Canada then get ready to be pleasantly surprised. You might not like some of the prices you’re about to see but you’re surely going to love some of the phones listed below. The first price represents the 3-year contract subsidized offer while the second one shows you how much you’d have to fork out for the phone without a lengthy contract! So without further ado, here’s the list!

Just in case you had a computer that featured a ExpressCard slot and another one that featured a PC Card slot and you use them both extensively, Verzion has a data card offering for you.

Pictured above is their PC770 data card, manufactured by Novatel, that touts the ability to be used with both an ExpressCard slot and a PC Card slot. It also features both Mac and PC compatibility and runs on Verzion’s EV-DO Rev. A network.

You’ll be able to pick the card up this Sunday, July 19th for $99.99 after rebates and a contract.

Sprint have announced that they will be offering up the Novatel Wireless MiFi 2200 “Intelligent Mobile Hotspot” too, which is expected to launch on Verizon’s network May 17th. The Sprint MiFi 2200 will share its EVDO Rev. A data connection with up to five WiFi clients and it will also offer access to the hotspot’s GPS functionality, something the Verizon version currently does not. That GPS can be used to access mapping and location-based services. Battery life is anticipated to be up to four hours of use or 40hrs standby, and the MiFi 2200 has an SPI Firewall and supports WPA2-PSK and WEP encryption.

The unit measures just 3.50 x 2.32 x 0.35 inches and weighs a mere 2.05oz. Sprint plan to launch the MiFi 2200 the first week of June, priced at $99.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate. Two service plans will be available with the cheapest, at $59.99 per month, while there is also a $149.99 Simply Everything Plan + Mobile Broadband, which gives subscribers phone service and 5GB of MiFi 2200 data. Each plan will charge $0.05 per MB for data outside of that 5GB.

I’ve been hearing a lot of rumors regarding the MiFi WiFi, and I am really happy to find out they were more than true! In a positive way of course. Let me share the MiFi with you folks! It is a portable device allowing you to create, edit, manage and use a 3G internet connection. The really cool thing about it is that you can easily create a Hotspot that friends of yours can use. You will be able to share CDMA and GSM data at EVDO Rev. or HSPA speds with this MiFi Intelligent Mobile Hotspot.

Peter Leparulo, chairman and CEO of Novatel Wireless.

With the pocket-sized MiFi device, Novatel Wireless has invented a new category of mobile broadband solutions, pushing the envelope in design and performance and ushering in the next era of the mobile broadband experience.

It combines a cool design with pretty great skills and I hope it will come at an affordable price in Q1 of 2009 when it will be available.
