Samsung Electronics has launched its first HSUPA capable handset for the South Korean market. The Samsung SCH-M470 comes with all the usual mobile phone features, although the camera is restricted to just 2 megapixels. The OS is Windows Mobile 6.

Samsung says that the data upload speed has been increased five-fold. In a demo, the handset was able to upload 5 average length MP3 files in just one minute.

The phone is expected to sell for between US$615-715 from SK Telecom.

A report from the GSA earlier this week said that he number of HSUPA-capable devices (mainly laptop modems) has doubled in 6 months. Today 66 devices support HSUPA operation, with the majority delivering up to 2.1 Mbps (peak) on the uplink, and 12 HSUPA products supporting or upgradeable for 5.76 Mbps (peak).
