Our buddies over at Fonehome.co.uk weren’t content with testing the iPhone 3GS for YouTube search speed on Vodafone, O2, and Orange – oh no, they’ve done  a bunch more tests too! We’ve got the ’411′ (or ‘info’ for UK readers) on what went down, but we’re not going to totally spill the beans – for that you’ll have to hit up the links and take a look as to who is the winner in each case!

Personally, I think the best test they did might be the straight surfing test, since most of us smartphone-owning peeps will have given that a go at some point – so here’s the video embedded – links for the others follow below:

And here are the other tests:

Ben Robinson

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
