Sprint's Mogul Becomes First EV-DO Rev. A Phone

Today Sprint made a software update available for the HTC Mogul which will enable it to connect to Sprint's EV-DO Rev. A high-speed wireless broadband network. The Rev. A network is faster than the standard Rev. 0 network and will increase wireless download speeds to between 600kbps and 1,400kbps and upload speeds to between 350kbps and 500 kbps on the Mogul. The Rev. A network has been reserved for laptop cards, but this software update makes the Mogul the first smartphone able to use it for wireless Internet. The software update also gives the Mogul new GPS capabilities, allowing it to support Sprint Navigation, which provides turn-by-turn directions. The software update is available immediately from HTC.
