UMTS Speed Tests AT&T WM6 Leaked ROM

Did some speed tests with the leaked WM6 AT&T ROM and UMTS on SMART.
--
Location: Driving Around Marikina City [my bro was driving]
Network: Smart Communications [Philippines]
Settings: Set Band to UMTS to avoid falling in and out of UMTS signal.
Testing: BBR [broadband reports] downloading 100K file [mobile speed test]
--

[1st test: definitely mid to low 3G speeds]

[2nd test: It dips some more here]

[3rd test: Still 3G speeds but a bit faster]

[4th test: we see a speed drop again]
--
It has been discussed in the forums that the 3G icon would change to an H when the device uses HSDPA. Never saw the H. I think this one is definitely location and carrier dependant. So YMMV. I think I will do the speedtests again tomorrow in V-Mall at San Juan [I have crappy UMTS signal @ home].

Coron Labor Day Weekend Getaway

The weather wasn’t as cooperative as we would’ve liked but I think we made the most of it :D [waiting for our flight to Busuanga] We went to the saltwater hot spring, island hoping, and had a whole lot of fun at Loralee’s luau. [The water is FIIIIINE!!!] [dinner at Bistro Coron] [Happy Birthday Loralee :D] Coron is one heck of a lovely place… just remember to bring mosquito repellent. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bnycastro/tags/coron_0509

Darth Kegaw to Treo 750: It is Useless to Resist

I have never been one to keep my devices *as is* when it comes to the OS/Firmware… This 2nd Treo 750 will be no different. So I dusted off my old Cheetah files [trivia: the Treo 750 is codenamed HTC Cheetah] and decided to HARD SPL [this allows for non-carrier branded ROMs to be loaded] and flashed it to a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM. Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen… and the ROM loaded without any issues. I did notice that Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 was not included in this ROM not really a problem since I own the software as well.  I’m currently syncing my PIM data and will be installing my apps over the next few days.
