I'm not sure how to test the speed of my connection on my phone though, and im not even sure if Bell supports revA.

This is from the discussion somewhere near page 30 when people were working on this in the alltel ROM.

Is for GPS Test. My post before on the previous page, http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...&postcount=408
Has everything else you might want. Although I can't personally get that QuickGPS to work.

They mentioned to set things to COM4 for whatever reason on live.. I don't know if theres any settings in the OS that need to be set. I can't figure it out.. never messed with GPS. I'm about to give up.

Another way, less reliable, is going to dslreports.com/mspeed and testing your speed on that site. Best I've gotten with 1-2 bars is 300kb/s which is faster than what I've gotten before. I believe you can get up to ~900kb/s... i've seen 1000kb/s with rev a. The site though isn't inconsistant in tests.

Two ways to test rev a, make a phone call and then open up internet explorer and browse the web. Rev a makes it possible now for you to do so, so if it works you should get websites open while on the phone.
