I just unboxed my brand new Dopod HTC aka HTC Cavalier S630 and after a few tweaks my demo was FLYING on HSDPA ATT’s Network. I did a quick post on the Dash’s big brother a while back and it still isn’t released in the US of A. Yup this baby came right from China right down to the Chinese interface. But thanks HTC for including English in your ROM!
I found my old Cingular .cab file for my settings which worked instantly -DOPE! Right then I noticed My old E or G was replaced with a 3G… Then I enabled HSDPA and BOOM it turned into a H! We have achieved 3.5G boyz! And all I can say is that this coupled with the 400mhz processor… Is that I love it. What a huge jump. Almost as big as when I went from my 300 baud modem to my 2400 baud modem. Ahh Good times Good Times. Stay tuned for a full review. This is the near future of mobile devices… Prepare to be jealous of the first Smartphone with built in cut and paste functionality among other stuff!
Edit: This bad boy saw 987kbps 992kbps on HSDPA and 87kbps on 3G… I seem to only get HSDPA outside in Manhattan. No go in Crooklyn or The Boogey Down. It also seems to jump back and forth between 3G and H while I am moving. I can keep on the fastest network – BY STANDING STILL! Anyone else have any experience with these networks?

I wonder if the 8525 has HSDPA. I ask because i have a feeling your phone is analogous to my 8525. HTC likes to do that. They tend to make the same phone and package it for different providers…
They are very different and this phone hasn’t been approved by the FCC in the states yet. i think that is the big hold up with the hsdpa. I have a 8525 here as well and it does not have the option to turn on the Big “H” from connections sub menu.
Maybe – Just Maybe it could be done with the HTC rom, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. What is the HTC model of that guy? Does it have quad band in the specs?
Don’t be jealous… ;)
I stand corrected… It does have a quad band and is capable of HSDPA but it is crippled by our good friends @ ATT see here:
Hmm… not so sure how I feel about all these delays in relation to HTC’s devices, but first, the positive side of things is that HTC Hermes will be “’HSDPA ready’, meaning that the hardware is already prepared for HSDPA” … now for the downside… “but the ability to use it will be accomplished only sometime later through a software update.”
I guess that’s a nice way of putting things, but basically our hope of immediate gratification has been kicked to the curb… I wonder which carrier will come out with the update first…oooh…and with what other possible features… oooh…
