Is there a way to check the speed on my browser? I don't think my Tour is any faster than my 8330 Curve was when I was using the browser.

Just wondering if there is a way to test speed.

TIA

There's a speed test app.

How is your signal strength on the Tour? If it is low, that will limit data speeds.

Thanks...

Okay, here are my results...

Download- 191.62Kbits/s
Upload-50.86Kbits/s

Is that any good? What's 3g average speeds?

I'm getting 572.54 down and 361.12 up at -80 dbm signal strenth. Granted that I can see the vwz tower less than 1/10 of a mile from my house, which helps.

Last test...same spot sitting on couch...

626.74 down
67.47 up.

Man this sucks.

[eharty]

I got 376.63 up and 253.41 down.

That is about 1/4 of the speed I got with the Palm Pre.

Avg speed I'm getting is 589.6 down and 396.2 up at -80 dBm.

The above test was at -94 dBm

That test isn't accurate. It only tests your speed through BIS so I wouldn't take it as a real result. Perfect example was the other day I ran that test at work and got 421 down, 360 up but when I tethered my Tour right after, I got 2350 down, 650 up.

exactly. data's being routed through RIMs servers on BIS so its gonna be way slower. tethering speeds will show the device's true max dl/ul speeds.

The best I've ever gotten as far as signal strength goes is -80dbm, with FULL BARS. Lame! I didn't do the speed test though!

[eharty]

Ok...maybe the test isn't accurate but, subjectively, web browsing on the Tour is significantly slower than on my old Treo 755p.

[Ethrem]

With the native browser yeah its gonna be slower. Try bolt if you want speed.

Also, a cdma blackberry will not show a signal better than -80dbm even if the signal IS better.

Keep in mind Data speeds also deal with your location and tower signals.

[danoh]

Maybe that's why people are posting their signal strength along with their speed results, eh?
