SE C902 - HSDPA or not?

[chris54]

I have recently received my upgrade - a Sony Ericsson C902 - and was wondering whether the thing was HSDPA capable or not. I did some searching and could only find that the C902i was HSDPA enabled. Is there something I can do to check its capability, or is a download test the only way. It does seem to reach about 40kB/s, which is 3G speed. Anyone have a C902 or C902i and have done some b/w testing? Does HSDPA (even at lower speeds) have to be added (at an extra charge)? Mine is the Vodafone (James Bond) branded one.

Good point. If I check the phones section of the Vodacom website and if I select '3G HSDPA' in the 'search' section the Sony Ericsson C902 does not appear under the results, so it does not seem to be HSDPA capable, and I always thought otherwise

By the way, a couple of people have asked us what the difference is between the C902 and C902i. There's no difference. Just Sony Ericsson confusing everyone by calling the same phone by different names in different countries!

The "i" in SE phones mean International.
"c" stands for China.

The i on most of the new SE phones do indicate Hsdpa capability or UMTS i believe , across the waters, not sure over here, coz all the SE phones used to be i's in south africa. (Until recently)
