Hi guys,

I wonder whether it would be possible to hardware wise install a HSDPA radio on the iPhone?

lol. no. Its not like it has a PCMCIA card or PCI slots.

The radio chip can allegedly support it, but you would need to rewrite the BB firmware, drivers and redesign the antenna. plus consider heat dissipation issues and energy usage.

So unless you have a few million lying about for R&D + Manufacturing costs.....
