Since we were in the exact same place on the same network, it was a direct comparison of the two phones. We arbitrarily selected cnn.com. In both cases, the mobile version came down. The iPhone was at least 5X faster than the Bold. Needless to say this is just one data point but the difference was striking.</p> I had the occasion the other day to try downloading a web page on a Blackberry Bold and a 3G iPhone simultaneously, on Rogers’ network in Toronto (don’t ask where the Bold was from).

The touch screen is amusing, but not very good for typing and I’ll never buy another phone without a user replaceable battery.

Hopefully with Rogers rolling out the Bold, it will pick up steam for the U.S. quickly.
