Default Enjoying HSDPA?

Do you enjoy your HSDPA experience on your Bold?

Which carrier do you use?

Mine is amazingly fast thru Smartone_Vodaphone at speeds up 14.4Mbps.

Its quite astonishing and this really pushed me away from the 8900 which is a little sexier looks wise.

How do you manage to get 14.4 Mbps when the bold only supports up to 3.6 Mbps (and that's theoretical)???

How are you getting 14.4 on an HSPA+ network when the Bold only supports up to HSPA 3.6?

I think the OP is confusing the 14400 bps figure with Mbps; sounds like an old modem baudrate figure.

It may be only 14.4Kbps, not Mbps (cf. 56Kbps modem dial up)

No, I don't think he meant 14.4 Kbps because that's NOT "amazingly fast"

Well, it makes sense getting a slower speed over a cellular network; but you are right, it is slow for 3G...
