The Blackberry comes equipped with a V6 motor and twin Carter four barrel carbs - Yes!
Seriously, if you are using the standard BB browser, then you are oing via the RIM network. If you use Opera-Mini, then you go via the 'normal' network. Maybe that's it.
Even the Opera browser is faster. Maybe Windows Media is just a pig. I was worried that I was going to miss 3G, but even the salesman in the store said that I wouldn't notice a difference on the Blackberry...he was right.
