Back at CTIA OQO showed a variant of the model 02 with an integrated HSDPA modem, only proving to everyone that a variant like that is on their road map. That’s why the battery has a dent, it is to accommodate the extra space to be used up by the SIM card holder. There is no word on when that version will be up for sale.
Those that feel adventurous and don’t mind losing their warranty will be interested to know that tnkgrl has successfully replaced the EVDO card in her device with an HSDPA one. The existing HSPDA antennas appear to work fine with it. More to come as she puts a post about it up on her blog. In the meantime enjoy the pictures, and feel free to look through the ongoing thread at handtops.
It looks like there is still hope for those (read: me) who want to buy an OQO 02, but are waiting for the HSDPA option.
