The first two handsets for AT&T Wireless’s new UMTS high-speed 3G wireless service could be nicer, especially for $300 a pop, but it’s a new service so we’ll give them a break for the moment. The Motorola A845 looks like the one to get compared to the Nokia 6651, if only for the camera alone. If you’re going to have high-speed uploads and downloads (between 220-320 kbps, or about eight times as fast as GPRS), sending video clips to friends would be one of the best new ways to utilize all that bandwidth. That and watching television at 7 frames a second (which sounds bad, but it’s a lot better than the frame every second or two GRPS and PCS television services provide now).
