Any pix?

Thanks,

T-Mobile's speed isn't too shabby... I measured it at http://text.dslreports.com/ and depending on indoors / outdoors I saw anywhere from 15kb (kilobits) / sec to 110 kb/sec (approx 2x dialup). Not too shabby, but the latency kills ya. I'm seeing over 3 seconds latency from the same dslreports site.

Thanks so much for the update freat. What more can you tell us? I'm particularly interested in the screen quality/rendering and formatting of pages.

Thanks!

I am a little dissapointed. The display is simply not wide enough. Anything with a border or banner down the side pretty much makes the page unreadable. It was better on my 7230.

See - even though the resolution is increased giving us a wider screen, we all know it doesn't look the same way when its drawn out like that. A bummer!

Somewhat should write a browser program that utilizes the 7100 screen from left to right (i.e., landscape mode) instead of displaying a page from top to bottom of the screen.

Good idea StevenT!

Maybe Opera will come to our rescue

Who can we send all these great ideas to? We need to compile a community list and send it to someone who 1) cares and 2) can do something about it

To improve browsing, you can reduce the font size and disable various options such as disabling tables support, etc, to speed things up.

The screen has the same number of pixels in width on both the 7100 and 7230 --

That 110kb/s is out of the cache, GPRS on T-mobile won't do that speed. The WAP AP that is used for the Blackberry is usually limited to around 15kb/s, when using the internet2 and internet3 AP's it's usually never higher than 40-45kb/s.

Scooby,
Any way to force it to always use the internet2/3 ap's and no the wap one?

I moved from a Sidekick, but certainly not for the browsing. The browsing on the 7100t is miserable.

i am still kind of upset that no mobile device has found a better way to deal with framed pages...

The BB's natural requirements for VPN I believe force it to use the internet3 apn. your BB shouldn't ever be using wap.voicestream.com as the APN, although, I'm not sure how DSL reports measures cache loading speed... maybe someone could explain that to me... I'm quite uncomfortable with my ENTIRE cache being unsecure and available to anyone with html coding ability to make link... Sounds a little odd to me, but I'm probably missing something

My bb is currently using the wap.voicestream.com as the APN, is there something wrong with this? Also I am getting 60-70k dl speeds after clearing the cache.
