these are the speeds you can expect in real life situations as long as you're in a good area.Last edited by amofiav; 10-30-08 at 08:49 AM.

What's funny is that both of these phones and the 8x30 series Blackberries all have the same Qualcomm chipset/radio in them. You'd think RIM could rewrite the radio code to enable Rev.A on them... weird.10-30-08 10:25 AMLike 0 - Nevermind about my previous question. I found the answer about the difference between kbps and KB/s and I was using it wrong above.
Network speed is (kilobits per second, kbps)
Transfer rates are ( KiloBytes per second, KB/s )
I am getting 500 kbps network speed and 60 to 70 KB/s download transfer rate.
There are 8 kilobits in 1 KiloByte. So it is bang-on. 500 divided by 8 is 62.5. Exactly what the browser is reporting in KB/s.

They tell you 500kbps and you're automatically thinking you should see 500KB on your downloads. I think it's a marketing scheme.... na... J/K, network speed has always been measured in kbps or Mbps, but you can't argue that it doesn't favor the marketing department a little.10-31-08 09:52 AMLike 0
