Bold Beats the Pack in Transfer Times

Gregory Quirk of EE Times has done download tests on the major smartphones, and concludes that Bold is best, largely because RIM's use of the Cypress Semiconductor West Bridge peripheral controller, found in the previous BlackBerry 8120 Pearl, provides "a direct connection of peripherals and creating fast transfer tunnels without loading the main processor. Instead of routing files from the computer through the phone processor to the storage device, it sets up a tunnel directly from the computer to the storage device."

Bold blew away the competition in downloading media files, loading movies twice as quickly as the iPhone 3G.
