T-Mobile plans to offer an HSPA+ smartphone before the summer is up

If the real world speeds obtained by HSPA+ enabled USB broadband modems from T-Mobile weren't any indication, HSPA+ is becoming an increasing figure in their arsenal. It's fine and dandy that they're aggressively rolling out HSPA+ to numerous markets of late, but consumers are probably waiting to hear about news regarding an HSPA+ enabled smartphone. Thankfully the good news is out of the bag as T-Mobile announced that they will indeed be bringing aboard an HSPA+ capable smartphone into the market sometime before this sweltering summer is up. They'll undoubtedly bring the heat to the competition once it finally comes to fruition as we know that there are bound to be many eagerly awaiting for the day. In the mean time, we can only guess and speculate to what will be the first smartphone that will embrace the faster data speeds of HSPA+. With summer more than halfway gone, the wait shouldn't be long now before we are presented with something.
