T-Mobile G1 Faster Than iPhone 3G

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the couldn't-be-much-slower dept.

An anonymous reader writes "CNET UK have run some very simple in-house tests comparing the T-Mobile G1's 3G connection against the iPhone 3G's. Result? The G1 loaded Web pages almost twice as fast as the iPhone's. Of course, the test only applies to the CNET UK offices if you're being scientific about it, as stated, but it's still impressive nevertheless."

    Should add a caveat to this rant: I am not at all familiar with the app store. My comments about features may be redundant.

    Right. Go To Settings -> General -> Network -> Disable 3G.

    Been there since, ermm, iPhone 3G?

    Um... you can turn off 3G in the iPhone preferences.

    Disabling 3G on the iPhone 3G has been an option since the product's inception:

    Settings, General, Network, "Enable 3G" (on/off)

    Settings -> General -> Network -> Enable 3g [off]

    What's the problem here?

    Umm... ...doesn't it have an option to turn 3G off in the Settings --> Network panel?

    But I actually called AT&T and talked to the apple rep and BEGGED for an option to turn off 3G,

    You mean like "Settings, General, Network, Enable 3G"?
