Blackberry Storm Vs. iPhone 3G: Browser Wars

2008-11-27
hey guys jon rettinger with john for lakers calm here with a full browser comparison for you of the blackberry storm any iphone 3g i load several different webpages comparing the 3g speeds i also turn on the Wi-Fi and compare Wi-Fi versus verizon's evdo networks who really can get a sense of how fast the phone is and what the browsers actually look like on the device little more in depth than I went into in my first comparison video so hope you guys enjoy and I will see you in the next one bye alright guys so I've got five bars of a video service on the storm and I've got four bars of 3g service on the iphone 3g so there should be a very fair comparison as far as browser speed to go memories been cleared out of both phones let's go ahead and get started I've got cnet com cued up on both of these let's go ahead and hit go and see how they do see that's a fairly intensive site so it should be a relatively fair competition here all right they're both off the iphones got some text up their first let's play up a mobile version of cnet and the storm is still going still running scripts see it pulls up the full version or the mobile version pulled up the full version so I guess that would be to the storms credit here that it's noticing that the browser is capable of a full website viewing and it's just about done so the iphone sending out a mobile signal the storm is sending out a full web page signal let's go ahead and try a new website let's try John for lakers calm open that up on each all right type it in here on the storm keep what'll pop up all right so there it is here it is here let's go ahead and give them both the shot and they're both off and they should pull up a full website version of each appears if the storm has a little bit of an early lead here looks like it's three quarters of the way done oh it out looks like the iphones pulling up the text so go ahead and let you guys see how that works it looks like the iphone is almost done alright the iphone just finished up and the storm is still loading and this page is both web friendly and mobile friendly so they both have an equal shot here too to load it up pretty equally alright so just finished up and it appears the block the iphone was quite faster let's try one more site for comparison let's try and gadget load that up here on the storm all right calm so we're set there go ahead and load it up here I've got it cued up in bookmarks and let's go ahead and get started and we're off on both I know a lot of people were concerned about the browser so it looks like the storm pulled up a mobile version of engadget and did it quite quickly whereas the iphone is loading the full HTML version just as you would see on a main web page so it looks like your browsing experience is definitely going to vary by phone sometimes you pull up a mobile version sometimes you won't so it's really gonna have to depend on what your preference is posed for devices they both do seem relatively quick so the iphone 3g has Wi-Fi the blackberry storm does not rely solely on verizon evdo network so let me give you guys a comparison of what you're losing with Wi-Fi i'm going to turn Wi-Fi on the iphone 3g on i'll do all this in real time for you and i'll load up a site that will load equally on both turn Wi-Fi on okay so now we are connected to my Wi-Fi network here so I didn't try loading a site that loaded up equally on both will try John for Lakers again and we'll see what the comparison that speed tests are it's a pretty simple site so we got it right there we've had it right here and this is with the iphone on Wi-Fi and the blackberry storm just on full strength evdo network so it's almost done on Wi-Fi already and still loading on the storm so it's done on the iphone and now it's still still going on the storm so you do see that you are losing a significant amount of speed without having Wi-Fi well I have been very impressed with verizon z video network certainly does not compare to the speed of of Wi-Fi so guys hope you enjoyed real quick browser test of the blackberry storm in the iphone 3g for more information be sure to check out the website as you guys can see right here john for lakers calm and if you want some exclusive content be sure to follow me on twitter ww twitter com select John for lakers see you guys in the next video bye-bye
