There was a question asked some time ago that I don't recollect getting
an answer - what accounts for the apparent speed of the 504 handsets when
browsing sites?
I know they run at 28kbps (ah, how I miss the days of yore when
use/misuse of the term "baud rate" was the subject for more honest flame
wars than even the Java/C debate - the current incarantion of which is,
as far as I can see, being conducted almost entirely between straw men )
which would account for the download speed.
I also know they have fast processors with decent refresh circuitry on
their screens, but I can't believe that the comparativly low latency
these beasts seems to demonstrate is PURELY a cpu issue.
Are Docomomo taking them through the same gateways as, say the 502
handsets, or are they getting special treatment? I know measuring network
latency over the imode network to handsets is extremely tricky, but any
figures comparing latencies for the 504 and earlier handsets would be
intriguing.
