Default N81 - HSDPA???

Hi,
Seem to get multiple different answers on the web -
In Australia (where I am), Vodaphone mark the N81 as HSDPA...... Nokia make
no mention of it that I can see, neither does Wikipedia - HOWEVER, some
reviews put it down as HSDPA and some don't... Although I also see comments
that it does not have HSDPA support "on the US band"..... <sigh> see
http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/29/n...-real-n-gager/

Anyone know for sure whether it IS or IS NOT HSDPA? Are there country
specific MODELS or simply relevant "band"....

Thanks!

Default Re: N81 - HSDPA???

OK Figured this out....
From Wikipedia
under

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hsdpa

Quote-------------------------

Vodafone Australia's HSDPA network currently runs on top of the UMTS 2100
MHz network therefore making most HSDPA enabled handsets from Telstra and
Vodafone/Optus unable to use the service (there are a number of exceptions
to this rule; for example the Dopod 838Pro is a Quad-Band GSM
(850/900/1800/1900 MHz), Tri-Band 3G/HSDPA (850/1900/2100 MHz) enabled
handset.)

Unquote--------------------------

So essentially it is running WCDMA 2100.....................

Ugh! Confusing to a degree. ONLY get HSDPA on N81 with Vodafones network
here, NOT if I change carriers
