This just popped up in my feeds. CNet did some completely unscientific speed testing comparing the iPhone 3G S, the iPhone 3G, and the Palm Pre. While some of the tests are entirely based on signal strength its still fun to watch while waiting for some jailbreak and unlock action!
The Power on Test
Winner - iPhone 3G S at 19.34 seconds!
Second - iPhone 3G at 48.18 seconds
Last - The Palm Pre turned on in a dismal 1 minute 46.35 seconds
The Load a Webpage Test
Winner - Palm Pre at 23.11 seconds
Second - iPhone 3G S at 35.54 seconds
Last - iPhone 3G at, uh never. It was on edge
The Take a Picture and Send it via Email Test
Winner - Palm Pre at 40.32 seconds
Second - iPhone 3G S at 54.03 seconds
The iPhone 3G wasn't test since it was on edge
Of course there are many other things that speed would matter with that weren't tested but in CNet's unscientific competition the Palm won 2 out of three

Yeah, well, as stated before, they are very unscientific results. However, the iPhone will have something that the Palm will never have: a huge jailbreak community that results in almost unlimited customizations/apps/improvements to any smart phone; in fact, no other smart phone out there has such a huge and skilled jailbreak community (correct me if I am wrong...)
Hope i don't get talked about but having my iphone for a year kinda makes the Pre a refreshing change could use the iphone as an ipod.
The Pre is a decent change of pace, but just isnt enough to tilt the momentum built by apple in the smartphone arena. The pre will do exactly what it was designed to do...
And thats to keep sprint afloat until apple wises up and ditches ATT exclusivity in the states.

Reason: typo
It's like comparing the speed of a grey hound with a horse; totally different classes of phones. First, they are on different carriers, second the carriers are different in bandwidth (CDMA and GSM), third, AT&T has not rolled out their faster 3G speed yet, so inherently Sprint will win the internet speeds no matter what.
