About a year ago at the 3GSM World Congress Barcelona, Samsung launched the SGH-Z560 in conjunction with Europe's first demonstration of High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) technology, of which the Z560 supports. HSDPA is technically 3.5G, supporting up to 3.6Mbps download rates as opposed to 384Kbps for current W-CDMA based 3G networks. Currently there aren't many handsets in the market that support HSDPA; they're slowly being released as the New Year ushers in. So other than the obvious technological advantage of the Z560, what else does this slim folder pack?

What you get in the package:

• X1 Samsung SGH-Z560 phone
• X1 3.7V Li-ion Standard Samsung Battery
• X1 phone charger
• X1 USB data cable
• X1 audio earphones
• X1 utility software CD
• X1 user manual (with separate copy in other language)
