vs. T-Mobile G1 Speed iPhone Test (Android)

“In this quick Prizefight, CNET TV’s Brian Tong and I pit the two against each other in a 3G speed test, clocking the time it takes for each device to load CNET News from start to finish. Now, there are a couple of things to remember. Both smartphones use different Web browsers, and there are a number of factors that might affect 3G speeds, such as the area you live in and how many people are on the network at one time. However, in the spirit of friendly competition and out of pure curiosity, we decided to go for it.”

Our sister site News.com has posted a speed test that pits the iPhone 3G against T-Mobiles new Google Android-based T1.
This is highly inaccurate. There are so many factors and settings that need to be taken into account here it makes this video hardly believable. Unless they show full evidence both browsers are set on exactly the same settings there is no way to definitively prove which is faster.
Someone who just got there G1 today wanted to “race” lol and the fairly simple website we pulled up that had NOT been visited by either phone ever, took 26 seconds LONGER to complete loading on the G1…the iPhone 3G speed blew away the G1 speed on a 3G test in Tampa FL.
Funny, Engadget did their own test with opposite results: http://www.viddler.com/explore/engadget/videos/73/
