With the latest firmware, I got the Bold 9900 complete the Sun Spider test in 3146ms. That's the fastest phone I have ever tested

[bighap]

Just curious, what firmware are you up to?

[ajaffarali]

Bundle 1465 v7.0.0.296

Just curious, what firmware are you up to?

[AceStreaming]

Woah! That's awesome!

[sf49ers]

that's awesome..nobody would have thought that RIM would take the lead in browser department, playbook and now this, bring it on RIM..

It's also worth noting that the BB OS7 Browser ranks second best on html5test.com

[Coffee Addict]

Are these tests a gauge of user experience or compatibility of new website technology?

No they are synthetic tests and don't have any real bearing on user experience or what you'll see in real world usage. Sun Spider tests the java script engine only. Not rendering or anything like that. There are other tests that test real world scenarios. That said, having a good javascript engine is a great thing!!

There are other tests:

http://browsermark.rightware.com/bro...k/index.action <--- one of the best ones

http://code.google.com/apis/v8/run.html

http://dromaeo.com/

And tons more tests.

Thanks for another informative post OP. I think this batch of phones are looking very good. But I love BB phones so it's not so surprising that they excite me. I am curious to see how well they sell in general.

[JDukeOSBB]

For some perspective...

Google Chrome on my PC runs the SunSpider test in 434.3ms +/- 7.1%
Wife's iPad1: 3545.4ms +/- 0.5%
My Bold 9650 running 6.0.0.522: STILL RUNNING lol
My Playbook: 2323.2 +/- 0.8%

[JDukeOSBB]

Playbook scores 46352 on the BrowserMark Test. Anyone got a 9900 to try!? lol

Yes! ThankyouThankyouThankyou! I was wondering what score it got for HTML5 and I asked someone else who had the 9900 but never responded. HTML5 is important to me being a webdesigner and this makes me happy . Thanks!

Looks like RIM'S coming back, and they're ready to take back the smartphone title maybe next year or so

[yeedub]

That's pretty good! For the sake of comparison, my iPad 2 scored 2170ms while my Motorola Atrix only scored 3878ms

[DannyAves]

7544ms on a T-Mobile G2

I think you meant you're getting the Galaxy S2 because of the Super-AMOLED+ screen not the 9900...

I get 2100ms on my Atrix with Opera.

That's nice, but from my understanding, good luck if you need it out in the sun. It's an improvement over standard Amoled, but still not totally there yet.

Awesome speed tests! Makes me even more excited to get this bad boy!

4519.8ms on my Nexus S 4G.
2268.5ms on my PlayBook.
340.7ms in Chrome.
281.4ms in Safari.
277.3ms in Firefox.

[olblueyez]

Maybe if the Android/Apple fanboys put spoilers and fart boxes on thier phones they might be able to do a little catching up.

[Maliberti]

I get 2100ms on my Atrix with Opera.

Using GB alien from XDA and stock browser I am getting 6300-6800ms consistently.

I wonder if it's Opera or the boutique OS and browser.

Forgive me if this sounds stupid but don't the results vary depending on hardware of your pc?

I just got 1036.2ms on IE9. But I'm on a laptop with an i5 @ 2.7GHz.

The mobile devices we use should not vary too much as they're obviously the same for all of us.

I doubt it. I'm still excited to finally see some motion from RIM.
