create a test page that is as simple as possible but contains one gif image.
from your server, measure the time from when you serve that page to when you
get
the request for the gif image.
this time should be the roundtrip time to the actual handset plus some
additional time
for the microbrowser to look at the cHTML page and find the image to fetch.
i can't guess the microbrowser time, but we could hope that it is small
compared to
the roundtrip time.

An excellent idea. Originally I thought the additional microbrowser time
would throw out any real latency tests - which it does - but it would give
you a better idea of what the user is actually experiencing and is one
technique I believe used in browser-based DSL connection speed tests.
