| Bold, battery and the Wifi If you upgrade your OS on the Bold, the wifi battery drain problem pretty much dissipates, at least to the kind of battery life that used to be available on the earlier, less fullsome Blackberry models. And everything is smoother and faster on Wifi! 3G is way better than EDGE, but WiFi is better still. I have an 802.11g router that works fine with the Bold, but I can also connect to my new 802.11n router, although it isn't performing as well as I'd like. But then I haven't figured out how to get past the old 802.11g speed limitations on my pc either, although with some tweaking, it matches that performance (it's a dualband and is backwards compatible). On my current OS, I'm still only showing a/b/g support. Maybe the next release will have a/b/g/n? |
