Will the Playbook bridge be faster with the 9900?
Please Login to Remove!
I currently run a playbook and bridge it to my 9800 with AT&T.
Will the browser be faster using a 9900 on "4G" or is blue tooth going to limit the speed?
Thanks,
Jeff

bluetooth will be the limit in speed but browsing might be faster with 4g

I wasn't aware any competitors had a bridge feature. Who are they? I would love to compare against the speed of Blackberry's bridge speed.
Back to my original question, Can I expect faster internet etc by switching from a 9800 to a 9900. (3G vs 4G)?
Thanks,

Well Bluetooth 2.0 is limited to 3Mbit/s (data rate) and 2.1Mbit/s (Max application throughput) and with 4G HSPA+ being as much as 42Mbit/s on paper your bluetooth is going to be the bottle neck not matter how you look at it. 
So will it be faster? NO! |

Can they increase bluetooth data rates through future software updates or are we first generation playbook owners out of luck? |

I have that combination and don't necessarily see a big difference. However, I have noticed that it is far more stable and have virtually no connection drops. So, to me it works very well and am pleased with it.  |

i have the 9800 and when the 9860 came out i jumped right on that one and from what i can see using it with my playbook i do notice that interaction with bridge files and email is faster and surfing web is also quicker then the 9800.

Might be the 9860 has a faster CPU to process BT and Bridge requests faster

Re: Will the Playbook bridge be faster with the 9900?
I have a Playbook 64gb and 9900 Rogers H+, it is not blazing fast but even in the bus i find it quite acceptable since it use the bridge browser, of course streaming videos lags a bit...other than that, knowing it use the Bluetooth i'm quite pleased.

I know with my 9810 and Rogers HSPDA+, I would only get lag when streaming HD Video, streaming SD Video I get no lag.
The lag, if anything, is probably caused by the Bluetooth connection.

What would be great is if a new BB handset could be setup as a WiFi hotspot. I haven't heard of that feature coming though.
