The Ultra Smart F700 is one of the first phones we’ve seen that will work on upcoming 7.2Mbps HSDPA networks. AT should be rolling out 7.2Mbps HSDPA here in the U.S. this year, but since the network’s current 3.6Mbps HSDPA coverage isn’t nearly complete, we’re not holding our breath for it. As for real-world download speeds, we’ve tested phones that get into the Megabit range on AT current network, maybe up to 1.5Mbps tops. Whether doubling the theoretical speed will double what you actually get is anyone’s guess, and probably depends more on network traffic, but for reference, Samsung claims that a 4MB song should take about 4.4 seconds

CNET reviews the Samsung SCH-W559 and writes, "One of the biggest gripes we have with the current crop of touch screen phones has been the lack of tactile feedback. Though we're still waiting for the Apple iPhone, our experience with the NEC N908 tells us that manipulating a touch screen phone takes quite a bit of getting used to--you can't dial by feel and texting can be a pain. The Samsung SCH-W559 attempts to solve this problem, however, with the integration of Immersion's VibeTonez technology that provides tactile feedback in the form of tiny vibrations. While it's not quite perfect, it is a step in the right direction. Combined with the W559's multimedia feature set and its support for both GSM and CDMA networks, this is one phone that is sure to be a conversation piece. The price is $150 but as noted above, it isn't compatible with U.S. cellular networks."
