    these are the speeds you can expect in real life situations as long as you're in a good area.

    Exactly, finally, accurate info.

    If you are only getting 60-70kbps using Rev 0, something is wrong. The Average Speeds for Rev 0 are 400-700kbps, you are actually getting 1X speeds. I've never gotten below 350 on Rev 0. I usuallt get between 450 and 600.
    Yes, but we're talking about connection speed vs. download speed. When I run a speedtest, like speakeasy.net or speedtest.net, I am getting about a 500 kbps download connection speed. When I download an actual file with Internet Explorer, I get about 60 kbps downloads as reported by the browser while downloading an actual file. What I'm wondering is what rev a will do to the browser reported download speed. I'm guessing around 100 kb?

    so which verizon phones are 3g rev a compatible?
    The LG Dare and the push to talk phones are the only current ones that I know of.
    Throw the XV6800 and XV6900 in there. The 6800 already has it's WM6.1 upgrade which turned on Rev.A... not sure about the 6900 though. Nothing is official from Verizon on that that upgrade yet, but Rev.A has been turned on that unit via other radio updates from other carriers/cooked roms if I'm not mistaken.

    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.

    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.

    ^^^ lol, that's where they get ya. On the math. 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.
