I was chatting with a coworker who recently purchased the Samsung Blackjack. He said he experienced HSDPA, or better yet 3G, through out Los Angeles this past weekend. To confirm I did some searching and according to Cingular’s Customer forums (totally unofficial of course) one contributor confirmed with a Cingular CSR that they’ve began testing its Broadband in certain parts of LA. We’re expecting an official press release in the first few weeks of Q1. Its about time Cingular got their act together considering LA has to be the number one market in all of California, if not the West Coast.
