Some snippets:
Firmware: 10.1.154
DSL Reports speed test results:
- 5k – too fast
- 50k – 41 kbit/sec – .826s
latency – 10.415s d/l time- 100k – 100 kbit/sec – .672s
latency – 8.615s d/l time- 200k – 120 kbit/sec – .799s
latency – 13.972s d/l time- 600k – 77 kbit/sec – .696s
latency – 62.997s d/l time- 1MB – 57 kbit/sec – .706s
latency – 142.238s d/l time
I will never recommend the purchase of a locked phone on my site. If you absolutely need 3G on a Nokia device in the USA then this Cingular offering is for you. Personally I’d rather have the N76.
The initial speed test results are terribly disappointing, but too many variables can affect those scores.
One would need two phones, WinMo and S60, to preform testing at the same location and within the same hour to start figuring out if either Cingular or Nokia is at fault.
My hypothesis: Symbian Guru is an area where 3G service isn’t very strong.
In my home, with a Nokia E61 on T-Mobile, I always score above 150 kbit/sec.
UPDATE: Ricky repeated the speed tests in the web browser this time as opposed to the services browser:
- 5k – too fast
- 50k – too fast
- 100k – 164 kbit/sec – .67s latency – 5.525s d/l time
- 200k – 263 kbit/sec – .667s latency – 6.71s d/l time
- 600k – 307 kbit/sec – .664s latency – 16.246s d/l time
- 1mb – 381 kbit/sec – .643s latency – 22.089s d/l time
Better, but it still doesn’t touch Sprint and Verizon’s EVDO.
When will HSDPA make it state site? No body knows.
