I called my problems in and I'm expecting a replacement phone next week, so hopefully that will fix the problem.
Just out of curiosity I went down to the local verizon store to see what kind of speeds the demo phones got. Turns out the only phone they had with a real browser was an 8830. It wouldn't do the test, could never get a stable download even with the 1mb file. I couldn't beleive it, no Treo's, no Q's, no 6700's, only the Blackberry?
The AT&T store was in the same parking lot and the 3G network just took hold in this area so I gave a couple of their phones a try.
HTC 8525 = Avg 822kbit/sec on 3g
Samsung Blackjack = Avg 670kbit/sec on 3g
Treo 750 = Avg 608 kbit/sec on 3g
iphone = Avg 161 kbit/sec on EDGE
