With the advent of super 3G networks, HSDPA-enabled devices have been conspicuous by their absence. Now Japanese giant DoCoMo is working with a number of phone makers to produce mobiles able to take advantage of the speedy connection.

Fujistu, Motorola and NEC have all signed on the dotted line to work on the HSDPA-ready phones, which are scheduled to be unveiled at the mobile industry's annual shindig - 3GSM - this February.

According to DoCoMo, the phones are capable of downloads at the speed of 3.6Mbps, around 10 times faster than traditional 3G.

With super 3G phones a little slow to debut, operators have already been focusing their efforts on putting the mobile broadband technology into laptops. Dell recently signed a deal with Vodafone to include internal HSDPA modems, while Lenovo also revealed it had similar plans to include the technology in its hardware.
