I use Sprint 1xEVDO via Bluetooth on Treo 700p occasionally. It
works well. As for drivers, I'd always just use the Apple driver.
In your case though you're using the Bluetooth driver, and we're
talking the actual card drivers.
I'm aware of that (I wrote one of the howtos for using Bluetooth DUN
on Treos with Mac OS X). I didn't mean to say I was using the WWAN
card driver; just that I'm a Sprint EVDO user. Note that I said
"*I'd* always just use the Apple driver", making a recommendation;
not "*I* always just use the Apple driver". I should have separated
that last sentence from my first statement about being a Sprint EVDO
user.
You could always try the 3rd party driver if you're curious, but
I doubt the speed will change.
It should, but it should be minor.
Unless there is a bug or issue with one of the drivers, for the
purposes of practical conversation, the speed will not change. Yes,
the routines in the driver that handle moving bits around differently
may mean that one is ever-so-unnoticably technically "faster" than
the other, but for practical purposes, any difference, as you said,
will be extremely minor, such that it's likely not even noticeable.
For the purposes of this conversation, the poster was wondering if
anything would *substantively* increase the performance. The answer
is no (unless there are bugs or issues with one of the drivers).
Also, if you're getting 1.3Mbps download, you're on 1xEVDO. 1xRTT
(the non-EVDO data network) is 144kbps max.
IIRC Sprint isn't really 1xRTT. I routinely get speeds of about a
meg down off my Treo 650 which is not EvDO.
Sprint's nationwide non-EVDO digital network is 1xRTT.
I have no idea how you are getting a meg down on a Treo 650, but
Sprint's non-EVDO network is definitely 1xRTT. My wife and I both had
the 650 before the 700p and I *never* got more than around 140kbps
downstream, in multiple cities (Madison, Chicago, San Francisco) and
about two years of use, both via Bluetooth and USB.
[...] Sprint, which also carries the Treo 650, offers a version
compatible with the slower CDMA2000 1xRTT standard, which offers a
maximum transfer rate of 144 Kbps.
