In reading the infineons site it says that its capable of switching off the hsdpa modem to save power. I know that my treo 750 was able to switch between edge and hsdpa through a settings change so I would do that when I needed faster Internet but change it back when I was done so as to save battery life. If I was apple I would have that feature built in so as to keep the battery level from draining as quickly as it would otherwise.</p> well if this is the new 3G chip I just hope they take advantage of the a-gps add on capabilities of the chip this time around.

Nor of infineon. Whatever.</p> I doubt they’d switch to s-gold3 and not 3h. wouldn’t be a point. i’m not a big fan of the 3h, though. Nor of infineon. Whatever.

Only the latter is 3G so the reference to 'SGOLD3' in the code is hardly definitive. That said, given that Jobs has said 3G this year and the AT&T bod said 'within two months'/'months' S-GOLD3H seems the more likely. Just possible though that they might have two phones in the works - one with S-GOLD3 (non-3G) and a 3G version with some other as yet unrevealed RF chip.</p> <p>EDIT. 'Phone different Articles' your original post seems to think it's in the future. This is should be the second post in the thread.</p> As posted in a previous thread, there are two ‘S-GOLD3′ chips: ‘S-GOLD3′ and ‘S-GOLD3H’.
