    P.S. I can't believe this especially since the iPhone was on WiFi because it didn't get 3G service where they were!

    HP.com loads incredibly fast... when you have Javascript disabled. When it's enabled, not so much. You can tell the difference of whether they have it enabled based on the look of the page.

    It looks like the Tour and the iPhone both had Java disabled, whereas Pre had it enabled. Still, Tour's EVDO beating the iPhone's Wifi is impressive!

    As much as I like the Tour, I call BS.

    This is either some sort of viral video or done by a Tour fanboy.

    The Tour must have either had the website cached or loaded the mobile version.

    This was the first test I did with my Tour. I launched USAToday with my Ipod Touch (same Safari browser as the Iphone) on wifi and on the Tour for the load up speed test and the Tour wins every time (even with the standard BB browser). Can't understand anyone that knocks the Tour EVDO speed, I rate it outstanding and no wifi necessary, at least on Verizon. Very pleased with the browsing experience.

    There's something up with that. I put my friends verizon tour against my sprint tour, and beat her on every page we loaded. The palm pre I can't say. All I know is I'm willing bet my tour against any other non sprint tour!

    Idk if anyone else noticed but the guy said that he was running the Palm Pre on the Verizon network. I wonder if he was mistaken?

    Other than that, BGR did a test the other day posting the best 3G speeds of all of the major carriers. Some of you may be surprised by the results, but I am not!

    The iPhone 3GS browser spanks BB hard when it comes to usability and speed. This is quite well known and documented and includes the BB as well as Opera Mini and Bold browsers. If you are so desperate to believe differently because of some amateur You Tube video then you must be feeling really insecure about having a BB instead of an iPhone.

    Try it yourself. HP.com loads INCREDIBLY fast on the Tour without Javascript enabled (which by the looks of the page that she showed, it appears she had Java disabled). We're talking about seconds here.

    And yet, he didn't have the balls to put it up to a Sprint Tour.. Scared aren't we? lol

    Plus, BB's go through proxy servers, DUH

    I can attest to this. I was out with some friends last week and we were looking for some of the local night life after the restaurant and my Tour not only loaded a webpage faster than two of their iPhones but also loaded Where faster than they loaded any of their apps and it also gave me better and more accurate responses.
