David you really should test out our network. If you would, try that test on the 8830...Even an actual handset like a Dare or Voyager would blow Sprint recklessly out of the blue. Hands down, Verizon has the most advanced, fastest network out there.

You're an idiot. You have no idea what verizon is doing to the network you're guessing because of your results on one phone. My verizon ev-do works fine I get 1200kbit/s

Thing is though, the mobile web card in treo's is faulty. try the same test with a moto q and it will rape the sprint phone. Same reason the Iphone sprint test is done with a treo~only people in the wireless industrys are aware the treo modems are faulty.

lol yea but your sprint phone looks like shiiitttt ahah I'd pay the $50.00 but I have a laptop.. don't need mobileshitweb...

Like mentioned earlier, location, location, location. I jsut ran the same test on my Treo 700W and got 485 kbit/sec, not too shabby. No lag here.

My understanding was that Verizon allows you enough data to check out a certain number of page views (estimated); when you use five tabs at once to check MySpace, FaceBook, YouTube, Gmail, and etc. it uses up a lot of bandwidth. No? That's what they suggested. It's funny though, because they didn't even tell me it was cancelled, then WHAM! gone. They DID credit $300, so it's cool.

The whole point of broadband is mobility. Bluetooth is a slow technology in general. Its specifically for syncing or voice calls. No one can expect to use bluetooth on a fast connection do to the technology itself does not have fast enough decompression. I think its funny you think verizon discourages laptop use when that is primarily how they sell service. I am with was with sprint and switched to verizon because of the more areas i can get on my laptop.

Tabbed browsing does not increase your bandwidth. When you visit a page it downloads the kilobytes one time until you access something else on the page. Tabbed browsing seriously was not your problem and its really funny that you think tabbed browsing is an issue. Tabbed browsing is the same thing as visiting a web page. Its the TX/RX transfers that increase bandwidth loss.
