All AT&T SmartPhones may be 3G Capable in Months

Here's some interesting news for smartphone fans. At a recently press conference, AT&T CEO Ralph de la Vega expressed that the company's smartphone line up would be 3G capable in months. If the wireless network stays true to this statement, then the 3g iPhones and BlackBerry devices will be available in months.

AT&T's CEO made this statement when a member of the press beagn to lament that the wireless network's BlackBerrys do not have HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access). However, some analyst expressed doubt on this statements because CEO's have been known to make unfulfilled announcements. And when pressed by questions about the impending 3G capabilities of the iPhone and BlackBerrys, de la Vega simply reiterated the same statement.

Anyway, here's a list of the smartphones and PDA's in AT&T's lineup. Hopefully these will all be in 3G "within months."
