I think Crackberry should do a comparison between an older phone, like a 9650 running OS6 and of the new phones with OS7.

Test the speed difference using bridge.

Test:

Browsing speed via speedtest.net
How long it takes the native FB application to open completely.
How long it takes to bring up the main webpage of CB.

This would be useful in seeing if the bridge speed improves with the newer faster phones.

Right now using a 9650 with OS6 the native PB FB app never fully opens as does FB in the PB browser and forget about getting CB to load all the way via the bridge. Regardless of signal strength.


Thanks,

Tim

I would be interested in a speed test between OS6 and OS7.
I'm on bridge now. Just replied to a message on the native facebook and typing this message on the full CB site. Maybe the phone does make a big difference. I'm using a 9800.

Go Phils.

Just ordered a 9930 from Verizon USA, will have it Wed and be anxious to see how it compares to my old 9630...

I'd like to know what you think, I still have a tour.

That's great news/

i saw a lot using 9900 to bridge playbook but how is the batt life? Since 9900 got quite a bad review on the batt standby,just wondering? Anyone care to share this?

Also, the BBM works fine but I don't know if it is the new phones or the OTA update to the Playbook.

i also have used the bridge browser quite extensively with my Bold 9900. IMO (only mine so take with a grain of salt) it feels comparable to wifi. This may be for a variety of reasons.

As far as battery life is concerned, bridge does burn up quite a bit of battery - (i do not have the exact estimate) but I did once stream about 150 mb of content on bridge (youtube and everything over 1.5 hrs) and my phone still lasted the whole day so take that for what its worth.

according to GSM arena, Storm 2, Torch 9800 and Bold 9900 all have bluetooth 2.1 but only the 9900 has EDR, for enhanced data rate.... which likely makes bridge quite a bit faster....

who brings you hard facts? who? who?

I have noticed quite a boost from the Bold to my new 9860.. Must faster across all apps, but mainly the browser.
