Dieter: It�s fast. Not wildly fast, but coming from the 9600 GSM connection on the 270, it felt like Blazer actually deserved the name. Sprint claims that it can download at speeds up to 144 kilobytes per second at peak times, with an average of between 50 and 70 kbps. I can�t say I ever had it much faster than 75 kbps, but that�s faster than your average (or even above average) telephone line modem.
Michael: I had an opportunity to use a Sprint Vision PCMICIA modem for laptops. I was very impressed at the speed, because I was getting sustained 120 kbps downloads while using it � more than twice the speed of dialup. I never found this kind of speed on the Treo 300, but I don�t expect a 33 MHz processor to be able to process and render that much data instantly.. One of the nicest things about the Treo 300 was that all the connection settings were stored in memory that was not erased by a hard reset. Unlike a GSM Treo this means after a hard reset you can go right back onto the network, without having to sync your backup first (Editors Note: The predefined GPRS connection settings are now stored in Flash).
