Download Speed Test Results

A number of readers have requested statistical analysis of the download speed tests:

TEST 1 - Download CNN page:
iPhone WiFi (33 sec) vs. Sprint EVDO (67 sec).
iPhone WiFi is 2x faster than Sprint EVDO.

TEST 2 - Download CNN Page:
iPhone AT&T EDGE (61 sec) vs Sprint EVDO (65 sec).
EDGE is 6.5% faster.

Test 3 - Download Apple.com Site:
iPhone AT&T EDGE (25.2 sec) vs Sprint EVDO (19 sec)
Sprint EVDO is 32% faster.

Test 4 - Reload Apple.com:
iPhone AT&T EDGE (20.2 sec) vs Sprint EVDO (26.1 sec).
EDGE is 29% faster.

In conclusion, I think it's safe to say that the combination of WiFi and Edge give the iPhone enough firepower to hold its own against any current 2.5/3G phone.
