Today Samsung announced its first HSUPA SCH-M470 for the Korean market. Featuring a 2 megapixel camera, M470 supports HSUPA networks, which provide the similar HSDPA downstream, but have a much faster upstream speed of up to 5 mbps. The SCH-M470 has integrated WiFi, Bluetooth, supports push email services and its internal memory can be expanded with a microSD card. The handset will only be available in Korea first, at an estimated price of 600 USD from Q2 this year, when SK Telecom launches commercial HSUPA services. The handset supports 2100 MHz 3G networks, so theoretically it can also be introduced in Europe too.
