Download Speeds on the Sprint 6700

[ljderm]

I have noticed that when doing a speed test from Toast.net with EVDO, that I get approximately the same speed as others have mentioned which is 400-600 kbps.

Interestingly, if I disable the phone and hook the 6700 up to my PC's internet connection thru usb I get the same results. Although the very same pc will get about twice that speed, at about 1200kbps, on exactly the same test only moments later. Same thing happened in a WiFi hotspot. The laptop was about twice as fast. And on the 6700 I did indeed have the phone function turned off and the WiFi activated.

I have another PDA running Windows Mobile 2003 that has no phone, just a plain HP1945. It will get the same 400-600 speed when connected to the PC.

So knowing that the DSL connection is 1200+, does that mean that PDAs have a limiting factor, which does not let the speed get above 600kbps or so, even when directly connected to a PC running a higher speed internet connection?
