Iphone internet speed vs other Smartphones?

Anyone know how the Iphone's internet speed compares to other smartphones like the Treo on VZ's high speed network (for example)?



Posted by: EtherealRemnant

There's no comparison.

EDGE can fluctuate between 10kbps on a bad day and 275kbps on an incredibly good day, averaging 150 under normal use.

Verizon, however, has an average speed of 400-500 and Sprint is about 500-700.

WOW - VZ is that much faster?

No way dude... Verizon can be fast but I am in EVDO signal and get 225-250 consistently with some bursts in the 400 range....

If your getting 200+ with EDGE be happy... I am jealous... I want the Iphone but I am going to hold off and see if there are any REALLY bad bugs...

Never compared Wifi to EV-DO/EDGE/HSDPA because you cant have Wifi everywhere, while the rest, the entire city is usually blanketed with them. I'm quite certain EDGE speeds suck compared to the other two bands.

Well edge did beat out the treo on evdo and was close when it got beat.

the treo probably had one bar and was on 1x and the i phone had full service, i had a sprint q at a cingular store and it constantly blew the 3G black jack out of the water, i also restarted the blackjack cause it was probably on for days
