1. Sept PC World page 50: The Theas.....access the Internet at the speed of a 56Kbps modem...Thats hardly lightning fast but it beats the 14.4Kbps top speed of the previous CCDMA network.

2. Page 51 - cdma 2000 1x - The successor to CDMA. Supports burst speeds up to 144Kbps; average throughtput is about the same or slightly faster than 56 Kbps modems.

GPRS - Designed to work with GSM. Runs at up to 114 Kbps; average throughput is slightly slower than that of 56 Kbps modems.

PC Magazine - Sept edition - Page 45 ...you can upgrade the firmware to support high-rate GPRS service. (A CDMA version is expected later this year.)


Does anyone have a feel for the average speed of 1X and the average speed of GPRS. I have used GPRS and I can't seem to find a good way to measure it as it is just too finnicky but in my view it is nowhere neara 56Kbps modem if anything I would say it is less than 15Kbps.

Best,
