Eric, Samsung used the number 105 kbps as "throughput" in their Digevent presentation Now you are really nitpicking, in packet switching world, we always use the term throughput instead of individual data speed. As a matter of fact that is the most accurate term to describe a packet data networks. Individual data speed is often misleading. DoCoMo's initial service for Video uses 64 kbps circuit switched data. SUPPOSEDLY, however, their introductory 3G i-mode service uses 384 kbps packet. They never put that in a clear term, I mean if you use the same read between line technique you used against CDG, Samsung or Dr.J. As a matter of fact, they are just repeating what 3G is defined IMO. I have lost the link of a N.E.C. phone spec being used in this rollout, it clearly stated, with no ambiguity, that the phone is for 64kbps.

Samsung used the number 105 kbps as "throughput" in their Digevent presentation. It's not Korea, but the Sprint and Verizon trials suggest about ½ that. Message 15870923

Your question is not one that has ONE answer. It has many, many conditions, many differences on area, loading, time of day, type of service, etc. So go ahead and BORE me on your long tirade on how you want ONE number for something which can't be answered that way. The answer is that it can go 144k bps if you have the channels available. If your in some outlying area of Seoul, then you could perhaps get all 8 channels and do 144k, if your downtown at Southgate at 5:00 PM in teh traffic, then perhaps only 14.4k. So keep pounding away on rhetorical questions and keep asking for something which cannot be pinned down to one number. But I do agree. It is tiresome. Perhaps we should go figure out a way to quantify it correctly rather than keep sending the same old post on the speed.
