Samsung also hinted that it is looking to BlackBerry producer Reseach In Motion's strategy to drive adoption of its devices.

You are missing the subtle point here... What do you think is going to happen to our local cellphone market if Samsung decides to offer a BIS type of service bundled with every device?

Is what I'm referring to.

I'm still mostly using EDGE on my Android and only switch to 3G when I need to get a lot of content quickly. Heck, even my GPS Navigation (including downloading of maps) works fine on EDGE.

So again, I'm asking, for what? HSDPA runs at anywhere between 7.2 and 21Mbps, which is MUCH faster than the internet connection most people have at home. Why on earth do you need that much speed on a phone?

Did you read the whole article... they are not referring solely to the speed of the data connections. When they do it is in relation to the capabilities of the smarphone hardware currently on offer. What they do refer to though is the speed of adaptation and the cost of usage which hampers the speed of adaptation.

Well Skyo their build quality is 10 steps up from that of BB...

Hell I haven't had a phone in my hand with worse build quality than a BB in the past 5 years.

And I don't think Samsung will be the only company actually ending up providing such a service.

So will they introduce a fold up 64" oled screen for gaming on their phone?

I would love BIS on S2 - would be awesome. The phone does not need the speed but the nets sure could do with a bit
