AT&T Free Updates to Add HSUPA to Inspire

AT&T said Friday that it began deploying HSUPA innovation to the HTC Inspire, and would add another HSUPA update for the Motorola Atrix "in the near future".

"Today, AT&T began to deploy an update for the HTC Inspire(tm) 4G that provides, among other features, the addition of enhanced uplink speed research," AT&T's statement said.

"An update that adds HSUPA for the Motorola ATRIX 4G has cleared testing and will be deployed before long," AT&T added. "Updates will roll out to clients of both phones over the coming weeks. Users will get a message on their device notifying them of an update and to connect to Wi-Fi to download it. Afterwards downloading it, the user needs to only allow the update to automatically install."

The HTC Inspire in February

AT&T announced the HTC Inspire in February. The HTC Inspire 4G is AT&T's answer to big-screen phones like the HTC EVO 4G on Sprint and the Motorola Droid X on Verizon. PCMag.com's review found the 4G speeds uninspiring, for all of the Android power - and, unfortunately, in our tests it dropped more calls than an iPhone.

By contrast, the sexy Motorola Atrix is at the forefront of a innovation revolution, according to a PCMag.com review. This powerful cell phone that transforms into a laptop or a desktop PC shows us what could very so then be the future of mobile computing.

At 2.5 by 4.6 by 0.4 inches and 4.8 ounces, the Atrix is clad in smooth black plastic with an attractive fade pattern on the back panel. The 960-by-540 screen is sharper than any other you'll find on a phone, with the exception of Apple's 960-by-640 Retina Display. It's as well the first of a family, which will include tablets.
