HTC Touch HD to be an Orange exclusive

The HTC Touch HD is to launch exclusively with Orange in early November.  They’ll be the only UK network selling the Touch HD until early 2009 at least in an attempt to rival the exclusive smartphone deals of their main rivals; O2’s iPhone, Vodafone’s Blackberry Storm, and T-Mobile’s G1 Google phone. 3 just seem happy to have the Nokia N96 available immediately at launch.

3 to double Mobile Broadband speeds this summer

3 have announced that they will double their broadband speeds by the end of the summer. They current operate at a theoretical max download speed of 3.6Mb, although they only quote 2.8Mb as a top speed as 3.6Mb is virtually impossible to achieve unless you sit live under a base station. Most people will receive 1Mb to 1.5Mb on average, which allows you to download a music track in no more than 30 seconds, so it’s still pretty fast. Most home broadband connection’s only achieve a speed of 3.2Mb according to a report late last year by the BBC.

Their network top speed is increasing to 7.2Mb
