DoCoMo to fund advanced-handset development: "DoCoMo tipped its hand on future offerings last week, when it announced it will award US$344 million to handset developers to work on a generation of handsets based on the Linux and Symbian operating systems.

"The goal, the company said, is to produce handsets in 2005 capable of achieving the broadband speed goals of its high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) technology."

"Based on W-CDMA architecture, HSDPA has a goal of increasing downstream speeds to 14Mb/s."
