Fastap On Major US Carrier Fall

fastap-phone.jpgEven though Fastap's been around for a while, no major carrier'€"don't kid yourself Alltel'€"has it. Digit Wireless tells us besides launching on a major Mexican carrier next week, a major US carrier has plans to deploy a Fastap phone this Fall. Of course, they wouldn't tell us which carrier, but the phone shown above is CDMA'€"and they've already got Alltel connections'€"so we're guessing Verizon or Sprint. Digit also says that after deploying phones with Fastap, a small US carrier had their traffic numbers increase 97%. So it seems people really do like Fastap, even though it's not quite as fast as we thought. One thing to note: it's up to the OEM to decide whether they want to arrange the Fastap keys in alphabetical or qwerty. It's capable of both. '€" Jason Chen Digit Wireless
