Intomobile tests the page load speeds between the iPhone and the AT&T Tilt. We know that the iPhone should be slower considering that it’s on an EDGE phone and the Tilt is 3G, but they did it anyhow.

What we found was completely expected. There’s more at play then just throughput. The iPhone’s web-kit based Safari browser allowed it to load pages almost as fast as the AT&T Tilt. We used the Pocket Internet Explorer that comes pre-installed on the Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional-based AT&T Tilt – and it proved to be the device’s downfall. Both devices had similar processor speeds, so that aspect was fairly controlled for in this test.

Next year should be great for those that are waiting on the iPhone but have too many little thing stopping them. Next year should see a 3G iPhone, Microsoft Exchange Server support, and third party applications. That will about cover all my issues. (except for having an actual qwerty keyboard)
