"While both Bluetooth 3.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11n have their place in the mobile world, you won’t be missing out much if your phone doesn’t support either of them right now."
Well i dont agree with the fact that 802.11n isnt important right now as i have witnessed myself huge difference in the range.

The Samsung Galaxy S2 bluetooth speed is definitely something I wanna see. Come on guys hurry up and test it already!!!

The new Samsung Galaxy SII supports Bluetooth 3.0+HS. Very interesting to see the transfer speeds of for example large moviefiles from a compatible computer. The ease of Bluetooth wireless pairing plus potentialy very high WLAN N-speeds.

Not sure you are really testing the WiFi throughout here. Your tests are showing the entire phone performance - what happens if one of your phones has a poor performing browser for example, how about slow IO to the memory when downloading a large file etc.?
The industry standard way to measure WiFi throughput is a tool known as Ixia Chariot. I suspect the bottleneck will not be the wireless interface but probably the driver between the WiFi Chip and the processor. Did you check the 2.4GHz spectrum to make sure no neighbours were using your channel and no microwaves were switched on. Often best to do these type of tests in a field.
I have seen 802.11G phones yield just over 27Mbps. There are also phones on the market that only give 6Mbps, moving between 802.11B and G gives no performance increase because the interface (probably SPI or 1 bit SDIO) is already saturated or the driver software is inefficient.
Try a few different Routers/Access points as they all implement the WiFi specificaiton slightly differently.

Wow, did I have misconceptions about the N8's Bluetooth 3 speeds??? I always thought why you guys at GSMA didn't say much about the N8's B.3 speeds in the N8's review. Now you go ahead and reveal the reason for your silence.
I always thought that B.3 meant getting those amazing speeds as shown on B.SIG's website... but now you go ahead and reveal the magic formula for getting a B.3 certification. Man, that's a BIG revelation to me, because I always had in mind this one really good thing about the N8 and now that has burst into air.
Fantastic article GSMA... you have opened our eyes really wide! Yes, do get ready to be sued! :P Thank You GSMA! :D

Whats the use of all this technology...UK sucks big time where US already have true 4g (Not apple IOS4)networks like O2 and all are capping the data tariffs to 500mb its like half move permonth allowance :(

Doesn't really matter at the moment in the UK for the vast majority of users as not too many people have a home network so just use routers for broadband internet access, nor will it for some time as we don't have anywhere near those speeds coming into the router from broadband. I get up to 8Mb/s (which means 3Mb/s in reality & as slow as 0.03Mb/s during peak times - yep slower than dial up).
So I just see my router sitting there gloating at me with its 54Mb/s speeds, trying to wind me up.
If I had an "n" standard router I'd just think it was taking the p1$$ outa me with 300Mb/s whilst I'm trying to download a 100Mb vid & the time left is 11hrs 37 mins.....

Dear GsmArena,
i think you must test 802.11 things using few APs from different vendors and do separate tests for up and down links, cause you can have problems not only on phone side but on yours AP too, especially if it has Atheros radio onboard :)

There are dual band wirelss N routers. 2.4Ghz (b/g) and 5Ghz (n) modes run independently.
