How old is the Palm?

"(Palm will release an upgrade in Q1 2007 to up UMTS to HSDPA)" (from

Can't be bothered googling the Samsung. But if you have HSDPA-capable
NextG handsets, you should be getting better speeds.

Here's a speed test I just did on 3's network in Adelaide, using a Nokia
6120 (which has HSDPA).
