Howard,

For the WM devices, try SKYFIRE a mobile browser and it is VERY speedy with its cached pages.

I just ran the speedtest on my Bell Curve and it took approx. 17 sec.

you’ve definitely put a lot of thought into this, but some of the variables you have controlled are very important aspects of browsing the internet. some other broswer tests that would be interesting, include testing mostly text vs mostly picture web pages, cache (you mentioned you browse howardforums a lot) and size (whether it can even load the full page on the broswer), zooming and rendering (since almost all) browsers need zooming to work, different browsers.
As an aside experiment, testing the graphics performance to see it’s relation to browser rendering speed.

GJ on the testing
