(InfoWorld) - Chinese telecommunication equipment maker ZTEÂ has developed a prototype handset that supports both GSM and China's homegrown 3G (third generation) standard. The slim clamshell-design U80 handset, which was on display at the International Telecommunication Union's (ITU's) Telecom World 2006 conference and exhibition in Hong Kong. offers support for both TD-SCDMA (Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access) as well as GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) and GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) networks. ChinaÂ has yet to issue 3G licensesÂ or announce when 3G services will be available. The country is widely expected to issue at least one or more licenses for TD-SCDMA, a 3G technology largely developed in China. A dual-mode handset that supports TD-SCDMA and GSM would allow users toÂ switch between future 3G services and GSM networks, currently the most widely deployed cellular technology in China. The U80's main display is a 262,000-color TFT (thin film transistor) LCD (liquid crystal display) screen with a resolution of 176 pixels by 220 pixels. A secondary display on the outside of the clamshell is a CSTN (color super-twist nematic) LCD screen with a resolution of 96 pixels by 64 pixels. The phone's other features include a 1.3-megapixel camera that can swivel 180 degrees, allowing users to use the camera for video calls or to take photos. The software included support for English and the simplified Chinese characters used in China, as well as a media player capable of playing MP3 and AAC+ audio files, as well as MPEG4 and H.263 video files. Telecom World runs through Friday.

(InfoWorld) - High Tech Computer, the world's largest maker of smart phones that use Microsoft software, began supplying HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) smart phones to SoftbankÂ in Japan on Thursday. The deal is the second major design launch in Japan for the Taiwanese company. In July, HTC started supplying a Windows Mobile-based smart phoneÂ with NTT DoCoMo. HTC's new Softbank X01HT features multiple ways for users to access high speed Internet data, HTC said. HSDPA allows data transfer rates of up to 1.8Mbps, and uploads of 384Kbps, faster than W-CDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access). Users can also access WLAN (wireless LAN) hot spots using the handset. The smart phone runs on Windows Mobile 5.0 and has the Microsoft Office suite, as well as Explorer Mobile. The QWERTY keyboard allows users to input data or play music on Windows Media Player. In the near future, the users will be able to use a push e-mail service, running on Microsoft Exchange Push E-Mail technology. The handset is also wired with Bluetooth technology, and boasts a 2-megapixel high resolution digital camera, and a microSDTM card slot to store pictures, music or video. Earlier this month HTC announced it was joiningÂ forces with VodafoneÂ to deliver 3G smartphones in Japan.

(InfoWorld) - Huawei Technologies Co. plans to increase its investments in research and development to expand its patent portfolio for mobile phone technologies, making it less dependent on intellectual property from other manufacturers, a senior executive said Tuesday. Huawei owns only about 5 percent of the intellectual property rights for components used in its handsets, Senior Vice President Guo Ping said Tuesday during a news conference at the Telecom World conference and exhibition in Hong Kong Huawei is best known outside of Asia for its networking equipment, but it also supplies handsets to more than 70 operators around the world. While the company recognizes the intellectual property rights of others, it also sees a need to have to have a larger patent portfolio of its own, according to Ping. Patents are a valuable commodity in high tech industries. Companies with fewer patents often have to pay more to use technologies developed by others in their products. Huawei could potentially benefit from the Chinese government's support of TD-SCDMA (Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access ), aÂ homegrown 3GÂ technology. Many of the technology's core intellectual property rights are owned by Chinese companies. Ping declined to comment on theÂ ongoing feud over patent royalty paymentsÂ between QualcommÂ and Nokia. The Finnish mobile phone maker, which has been unable to work around Qualcomm's CDMA patents for its own third-generation WCDMA (Wideband CDMA) handsets, has been trying to pressure the U.S. company into agreeing to a cap on royalties in 3G phones. At a separate press conference on Tuesday in Hong Kong, Qualcomm Chief Executive OfficerÂ Paul Jacobs said the company continues to negotiate, but that the talks are not progressing far. "Ideally, we would like to see if we can get a win-win situation for both companies but this will be very difficult," he said. "But both companies have a history of competing vigorously." Telecom World, which is organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a United Nations agency, runs through Friday.
