I received this link from the video owner who did a nice test of the Spring 700wx vs the Cingular Blackjack.. Now we all saw that commercial from Sprint where they took some pretty good shots at Cingular... I guess you can say lookout Sprint, I am sure Cingular has a nice commercial for you too..

It's been mentioned that it might be a proprietary stack.

Regardless, all the speed in the world doesn't take away the fact that a modern (smart) cell phone can't support voice dialing from a BT headset.

Jerry Samsung does not implement the bluetooth stake it is either microsoft or widcom.. So I dont know what Samsung could have done to fix it.

The more I read on various forums about the crappy BT implementation on the Blackjack, the more I am disappointed. What a shame.

That's a hot "SONY" treo??? Did he say Sony? Can we really trust this test? Nice work though...

I also noticed that the Blackjack took longer to open the speed test page. This was probably due to the fact that it was using Cingular's DNS. If he had modified his connection profile to use OpenDNS, that page would have been found quicker.

One thing to keep in mind is that not many people are utilizing Cingular 3G yet so bandwidth will remain quite high until more people come on board. I don't suspect that there will be dramatic decreases in speed but nonetheless I am sure it will drop.

Ouch I feel sorry for Sprint! I hope Cingular comes out with a great response!
