Notes on Productivity Home Page

Many of my eProductivity clients use the Treo 650 for phone and PIM applications. With the hype surrounding the new EVDO network devices I recently conducted several tests to help me determine if EVDO would indeed provide the performance benefits claimed by the respective networks. Note that I was not trying to determine the better network, simply whether the cost to upgrade to a Treo 700p could be justified on the basis of improved productivity.
My conclusions:
A 700p on EVDO is definitely faster than 650 on 1x RTT. It's more usable for replication of PIM data, web surfing, etc.
In my tests, EVDO offered up to three times the speed performance on download and up to twice the speed for upload.
EVDO Boost mode provides faster upload speeds at expense of slightly slower download speed
PDANet Rocks! However, no noticeable performance benefit with EVDO Boost or Proxy Mode
