Just in the nick of time to meet its "April 2011" promise, AT&T has made software updates available for the Motorola ATRIX 4G and HTC Inspire 4G Android smartphones that enable HSUPA data connections. This will allows users to upload data at a much higher rate than they had been able to previously. Both the ATRIX 4G and Inspire 4G have had the capability to utilize HSUPA since they were launched, but was just deactivated by AT&T. Users should be receiving notifications on their phones over the next few weeks alerting them that the software update is available, and then they will have to connect to a Wi-Fi network to download it. The ATRIX 4G has two updates that need to be installed in order to get the full speed access.
