Sprint Mogul beat my Hermes in Speed Tests!!!

[rockky]

what has sprint done to their radio (used to be sprint treo guy)..
my friend sat side by side with me and 5 out of 5, his new Mogul beat my Hermes in data speed tests.
And... He had 3 results over 1000kbs/sec one being 1200+!!!
'Broadband Evdo' indeed!

It has an EVDO Rev.A modem in it. The old Treo is just regular EVDO.

Right..... but was surprised at THOSE speeds!

[doanius]

I thought rev a is not enabled yet for the mogul.

[Madcap180]

I get speeds over 1000+ all the time with my 8525.

[cliffgardner]

Rev. A is not out there yet...however the mogul is the first rev a capable sprint device

These speed tests won't really tell you anything useful. Just an FYI.

There are dozens of reasons that any device on any carrier could get a faster download speed than a Hermes at a given moment other than the download speed to the device itself. Unless you've done some traceroutes to the speed test website you have absolutely no idea where the difference occurred.

Also, I'm guessing that only maybe 5% of the users of any brand of PocketPC need anything over about 500Kbps. Most of you probably don't even get that much at home for your computers. I get 8Mbps at home but I know most people are still on DSL-type lines.

There's an area near my town where I get over 1000kb all the time...
