T-Mobile G1 Faster Than iPhone 3G

I would not get the G1 due to its ugly, heavy, and limited features. I see no EXACT written time tests either.

1. give evidance
2. it better be more then 5 seconds faster otherwise I am not impressed.


In wifi, the iPhone is pretty instant in all the pages IMO.
 
It's the first 3G phone for T-Mobile's 3G network. Gee, I wonder why it might be faster than AT&T's network with all of those iPhones and BlackBerries. :confused:
 
i played with a G1 for the first time yesterday and was not impressed. Its just not a nice device to use. Yes i will admit that it is a first generation device but compared to the first time i held and used an iPhone, it just doesn't stack up. I was blown away by the iPhone and the G1 just falls short to me.
 
There were videos showing the speed difference. However, that was over 3G and apparently the iPhone network wasn't so great. Over WiFi, they said...

"Update: A previously published version of this article concluded that the G1's browser and processor were able to render pages faster than the iPhone's. In response to reader comments regarding a Wi-Fi test, we have now run a set of tests and concluded that, indeed, both phones load pages at a similar speed over Wi-Fi. This means there's little difference in processor or browser performance. "
 
HAHA, nice. I'ts been ratted out.
maybe T-mobiles network is better, doesnt mean the phone is. Also, pages load on an iPhone faster then any other phone like a razor that I have seen. I am pretty content.

Good journalism at CNET UK.

"The phone is faster!"

Update: "Except that it's not!"
 
So here are the tests they did. How does your iPhone 3G do?

With 2 bars of 3G, mine loaded eHam.net in 11 seconds. Took them 23.16
barackobama took about 50 seconds for mine, ... vs 1 min 38 seconds for them.

Our first test, timed by the venerable Rupert Goodwins, involved visiting eHam.net on the G1 and iPhone 3G's browsers. The G1 loaded the page in 12.69 seconds and the iPhone 3G took 23.16 seconds -- almost twice the time.

We tested the G1 against another 3G phone with a T-Mobile SIM in it, the Samsung Omnia, and this time visited CNET UK's sister site silicon.com. The G1 loaded it in 20.7 seconds and the Samsung Omnia took 44.9 seconds.

To test all three devices side by side, we visited barackobama.com. The G1 took 45 seconds to load the page, the iPhone 3G took 1 minute 38 seconds and the Samsung Omnia failed to load the page.
