well i couldent use speedtest.net on my 700wx so i used dslreport.com and got 650kbit/sec dont know if thats good but i have bad reception wher im at.
is ther difrent tecnolegy for the net with 800w vs 700wx

i wudnt call it different technology, i mean da 800w runs wm6.1, while da 700w doesn't, without an update

na I really don't teather much.
so the only difrence on ne speed would be due to a faster chip and wm 6 so pretty much the net speeds are the same.

Try this:

www.dslreports.com/mspeed

Speed has been good enough for streaming audio and most streaming video for me.

I don't know exactly how fast but I know the 800w isn't slower than the 700wx. I think the 800w is Rev A and not sure, but I don't think the 700wx is.

I actually have both and the 700wx gets approx 1000 down and 100 up on evdo sprint network. the 800w gets upwards of 2000 down and 400 up. the difference as far as i know has nothing to do with the chip. It has everything to do with Revision A. the 700wx is not Revision A and the 800wx is from what i was told.
