My Sony x1 beats them both anyway but the iPhone is more like a toy and the bold is for adults just not the same to compair.

@ram: You know what? I could care less honestly about comparing the two... but... BB users responded to a video that was posted so I thought why not... and responded to a Crackberry users video.

And now you know someone who is happy with the 3g performance. Me. It's great in Chicago.

Well, as you maybe saw n800 eats both with bread And I don't think you'll like to compare loading times thru EDGE or anything else

Enough's enough, already! The Bold is NOT an iPhone-like smartphone, nor should it be thought of as such. The Bold isn't even marketed to the same audience.

From what I've read, and it's ALL conjecture until its release, supposedly October 13, is the Blackberry Thunder (or Storm or 9530) was designed using webkit. And, according to a number of reports, the screen resolution is far better than the iPhone. And, according to a number of reports, the location-specific haptic feedback on the touch-screen BB blows away the iPhone. And, don't forget that both sides will ultimately claim their's is better.

Everyone I know with an iPhone 3G is disappointed that the 3G is flaky, and often seems useless. A few techies have gone so far as to point out that Apple didn't design hardware adequately to support the 3G, leaving their phones very buggy. I'm sure there'll be just as many complaints about the new BB, but I'm still going that route. BB still does what I need it to better than Apple...maybe one day that'll change?

@Albert: In this video the iPhone beat it by around 4 seconds using EDGE while the the Bold was using it's WiFi. I also have videos of the iPhone uses WiFi and it beat the Bold by 37 seconds... But what would be the fun of posting a video like that?

Scoreboard iphone wins the browser war. If we are talking about seconds and if the pages look render relatively the same then to me what's the diff

@Rene: I was reading all the comments on crackberry I could not take it anymore, had to make a video of my own. Pre-production model or no... Bold = SLOW.

@Bad Ash: Mad props! That's an awesome vid! (Sorry Kevin, but as Dieter said, you'll always have email...)

@Aaron: WebKit is open source, and Nokia, Google, and Adobe all make use of it as well, so there's no reason why Blackberry couldn't theoretically implement based on WebKit (and the upcoming ultra-fast Squirrelfish javascript engine as well).

Otherwise, it's always a math game where overall speed = connection speed + render engine speed + device processor/display speed (crunching+ pixel pushing power)

As a blackberry user, I am not ashamed to say that our browsers kind of suck. You have to give apple props for having things like webkit.
