Download Race Between Helio Fin, iPhone, Sidekick, and RAZR2

Download Race Between Helio Fin, iPhone, Sidekick, and RAZR2Our friends at Wired put a stopwatch to a four-way download race between the Helio Fin, iPhone, Sidekick, and RAZR2 with HSDPA. Of course, they wanted to see which one would load Wired.com the fastest in a straightforward race of phones that have different methods of downloading. Before going to the next page to see how they finished, see if you can accurately predict which one of the phones won this impromptu race. [Wired]

1st place: Moto RAZR2, 18 seconds (HSDPA)

2nd place: Helio Fin, 24 seconds (EV-DO, but loaded text-only version of the site)

3rd place: Sidekick II, 44 seconds, (GSM, but cached in Danger servers)

4th place: iPhone, 71 seconds (EDGE)
