I have noticed this on all of the phones that have built in wifi, I have a 22mbps internet connection, when I run speedtest on my laptop of desktop, both connected on wifi I usually get 20meg +. On my Bold 9700, iPhone , etc, the download speeds are usually around 2.5 3.0 mbps. It is not a huge issue, just wondering why there is such a huge difference between the phones, and the other connected devices.
That's pretty much what I figured. Thanks for the clarification. Although this begs another question. not really associated to BB, but my iPhone experienced the same problem, I wonder if the iPad will be able to handle more than the touch/ iPhone.
