HTC Thunderbolt 4G vs iPhone 4 3G speed test

4G is faster than 3G? For reals?

I award that site Dumbass of the Day.

It is comparing apples to oranges. What is the point? I'm a little confused that the 4g upload speed is twice as fast as the download speed. Who needs 22mb/sec upload speed? Seriously my 6k email will be uploaded .0000000000001 faster.

It would be nice to upload (at full rez) those awesome 720p videos that we take on our iPhones...

I agree - the practical purposes for 4G aren't necessarily widespread. For the everyday user, not much difference would be noticed. But the ability to perform tasks over a network at speeds that rival WiFi (for most intents and purposes) would be phenomenal.

Lets do a speedtest between a Honda Civic and a Porche

I was thinking more along the lines of a Yugo and a Corvette. Same results I guess. haha


Here's a question for the idiots in the testing. Was the 4G saturated like the 3G connection is?
Duh...
