Fujitsu's LifeBook U810, which I reviewed in its first incarnation in November, is getting the very upgrade that I'd dreamed of when it first hit my desk, namely, built-in wireless WAN, courtesy of the AT&T BroadbandConnect network.

According to Fujitsu, the U810 and Fujitsu's T2010 tablet will be the first notebooks on the market to use AT&T's HSUPA network, an upgrade to the current HSDPA network. That means not just 3G-class download speeds but super-fast upload speeds as well. Fujitsu claims 500Kbps to 800Kbps upstream with the new modems.

Otherwise, the U810 specs remain the same as before, and the model number is not changing. Pricing for the modem addition has not yet been announced. I'll have some hands-on time with the U810 tomorrow and will add some pictures of it to the Flickr stream then. Stay tuned!

    I have rev1 and it is excellent. My only complaint had been sluggish speed when I was trying to do too much on the Vista+Aero setup -- but recently I remembered I had a 1GB flash drive sitting around. Pop that in the USB slot and there isn't a bit of slowdown anymore and resume speeds are amazing. Now I don't have to turn off glass and other features (which still would have left me with long resumes)
