I think you should really read this post before you buy a BlackBerry smartphone especially if you purchase such a phone to browse the internet, to explore the App World, to download music, chat with friends, watch videos from Youtube and any other website with videos on it, update your twitter account and also your blog, and many other features that needs an internet connection.

First I want to make you understand because there are people that may not know this. We can say that a 2G phone is the same as a 3G phone talking about the mobility because wherever you have signal for your phone, you also have access to the internet. Now, there are also some big differences namely that a 3G phone can download anything much faster than a 2G phone. Also, if you have Wi-Fi on your phone you can access internet just in the wireless hotspots but is the faster possible internet connection for smartphones.

The tests were taken by download a 1mb file and it was repeated for 10 times. The download time for the 2G connection took 2.42 seconds, for the 3G connection took 1.74 seconds and the fastest one, the Wi-Fi connection, took 1.44 seconds.
