JBenchmark -- Benchmark your BlackBerry!
 

Download the JBenchmark by entering this address into your BlackBerry and clicking the MIDP 1.0 link.
http://wap.jbenchmark.com

Here's my results:
BlackBerry Model: 7280
BlackBerry Carrier: Rogers
BlackBerry Handheld OS: 4.0.0.128
JBenchmark: 759
Text: 128
2D Shapes: 211
3D Shapes: 143
Fill Rate: 44
Animation: 233

Interestingly, it says my handheld supports MIDP 2.0. The first four tests in the MIDP 2.0 version of JBenchmark actually works on my 7280 under BlackBerryOS 4.0.0.124 but then crashes on the fifth test.

Sprint Sanyo 5500 Results
 

I ran the same test on my SprintPCS Sanyo 5500, and it returned the following results:

JBenchmark: 885

Interesting comparison. I hope more people post the results from their devices.

I can't download to any BB running 3.7.1.41 via our BES or WAP on T-Mobile.

Hmm... are you trying the version 1 link? That's the one that works.

Yes, I get a 406 error.

OTA downloads work for some carriers and not for others. However, if you have BES with MDS enabled, you should be able to do OTA downloads, but make sure you're accessing the WML page not the HTML page.

For T-Mobile users, try the OTA download again.

I can't do it either myself, I get an error that reads "HTTP Error 406: Not Acceptable. The page you are trying to load is not supported by the browser. Please try loading a different page."

that's with the v1.0 link, same with teh 2.0 link. I run AT&T Os4.0 and am on a BES with MDS. :( I wanted to play too!

though it's interesting, the links show to me as the .jar file, not the .jad file *shrugs*

It downloads and installs both link just fine for me... but I get the "Module 'JBenchmark' must be signed with the RIM Runtime Code Signing Key (RRT)". Any workaround for this?

Interesting, maybe it only runs on 4.0 BlackBerries?

Has anyone ever successfully run JBenchmark on BlackBerryOS 3.7 or older?

I'm running 4.0.0.100

On my 7100, the 1.0 link fails in the download with an invalid .jar. The 2.0 link downloads and installs. Even has a cute Icon but when I run it I just get a red screen and nothing happens. How long should it take to run. I can stop it with the escape key.

Try bringing up the menu and seeing if it allows you to begin executing the benchmark. I had a blank screen on my JBenchmark, but was able to trigger it to run with visual commotion.

What is visual commotion?

visual activity. animations.

Tried the 2.0 on my 7100, and during the test i got an exception, "Multiple change pointers not allowed" or something close to that.

Forgive me, :oops: but what exactly does "benchmarking" your BlackBerry do?

Measures the relative performance between different BlackBerries and different cellphones.

This can pertain to the speed of text display, email scrolling speed, graphics, videogames, application launching speed (remember the 2 second delays in launching software? -- this can vary from BlackBerry to BlackBerry)

By benchmarking, we can determine whether newer BlackBerries are faster.
