Feel the need..the need for speed? Verizon Galaxy Nexus vs Droid RAZR vs HTC Rezound

[A.Brooks]

Flawed or not, those are horrible speeds period. You Nexus fanbois can scream about bars at the top, there's no telling as to when and how the conditions were on the phones, they obviously moved around and varied greatly, I've tested in both real world and static, and I destroy those with the Thunderbolt, even on 1 bar of 4g I'm averaging around 7.5 down and 2.9 up. With a good signal I've seen as much as 49 down, pretty intense.

Looks like the guy who posted right above you hit 49mbit on a GNex with a screen shot to prove it.
I saw a screen shot of one guy who did 58 down on a GNex.

Unfortunately that thread and the Anandtech article which it sites do absolutely nothing to account for those of us with the Galaxy Nexus that lose data completely, drop calls, etc.

My friend's speed test...

I think the test is very flawed. I have never had that bad of speeds and yes I use my phone a ton. Here are some screenshots to prove it. And my data use.

thunderbolt(what i upgraded from) was about 60-70% faster then nexus in my house. but we've posted about this issue days ago and got whole lot of flames from others on this forum. guess some people have lower expectations then others.

id be interested to see what changes with updates. Im glad I didnt rush out for the nexus... Isnt that a typical samsung problem though? connectivity issues?

How are people getting these speeds on 4G? This has to be WIFI right, LOL. I'm in a good 4G area (Pittsburgh) and I'm getting this:
