The Nokia Card Phone 2.0 implements HSCSD. This has 2 parts. 1) data channels can be increased from 9600 to 14400 if the signal is good. (it reduces the number of error correcting codes it sends, leaving more room for actual data) 2) it can bond multiple channels together to give to a higher data rate. You can bond upto 3 channels for download (3x14400 = 43200) and have 1 channel for upload (14000) which is good for web surfing, downloading. or you can have 2 channels for download (2x14400 = 28800) and have 2 channels for upload (2x14400 = 28800) which is good for voice over IP or video conferencing. You can also have 3 channels for upload and one for download when sending bulk email. If your signal is poor quality, the data channel drops back to standard 9600, and you get 1, 2 or 3 channels at 9600 instead of at 14400.
