My favorite compared Wifi on RIM to EDGE on iPhone... and the latter still beat the former, but by a slimmer margin. ;)</p> Well, I wonder if RIM used the same chip/vendor as Apple for the 3G radio? :) Also, the performance issues I have seen reported so far (e.g. the browser) were done over wifi on the RIM… so 3G shouldn’t have been a factor.
