Video: BlackBerry Bold vs. iPhone Web Browser Showdown (It Gets Ugly)
We've seen the BlackBerry Bold and iPhone head-to-head before, as well as the Bold's greatly improved browsing powers over past BlackBerrys, but not side-by-side in a web browser race. It actually gets pretty ugly, uglier than we thought it would. Update: So it looks like in Mobile Computing's test the Bold might not've been on Wi-Fi—we've emailed them to see what's up, but in the meantime, take the results with a grain of salt.
With both running on Wi-Fi and a cleared cache, in a test using Slashdot, the iPhone is actually able to open an entirely new page before the Bold finishes with the first one. The Bold renders everything correctly, it just takes a looooong time to do it. The Bold's got some fairly heavy duty hardware though, so an update from RIM should be able to give the browser a much-needed jolt. [Mobile Computing Mag via jkOntheRun]
