HSPA+ Windows Phones in the Works

When made available for purchase later during the ongoing year, some Windows Phone Mago devices might provide users with capabilities that might have not been expected from them.

Apparently, some of these phones, specifically those who would arrive in the United States on the airwaves of T-Mobile, might offer support for the wireless carrier's HSPA+ network.

The wireless carrier already offers a nice range of mobile phones that feature support for these fast 4G data speeds, yet none of them is based on Microsoft's mobile platform.


However, images of what appear to be stickers printed for T-Mobile stores have emerged into the wild, and they put together the Windows Phone operating system with the said 4G HSPA+ connectivity capabilities.

You can have a look at the images that TmoNews brought to the web to see the Windows Phone logo put next to “4G” on the said stickers.

At the moment, T-Mobile offers 21Mbps speeds in a wide range of locations in the United States, and it is working on delivering 42Mbps for its customers.

Until now, no specific info on the handsets that might arrive on shelves at T-Mobile with the said capability on board have emerged, but chances are that there would be at least one of them with the said feature on board.

At the same time, the fact that T-Mobile is gearing up for the release of HSPA+ capable Windows Phones comes as great news for enthusiasts.

The inclusion of support for 4G speeds in Windows Phone Mango will show that Microsoft is looking at more ways to make its users happy, not to mention that it opens the gate for more connectivity capabilities to be included into the mix.

With the wireless industry moving fast towards LTE, chances are that a Windows Phone device to include support for this technology won't be too far behind either.
