What a piece. Don't get me wrong, I've had my 8330 for around 6 months now and it is already the best phone that I have ever owned. I will rave about the phone's features for days on end to both my family and friends. But the browser options are just not that great on the Blackberry.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261470320155660914" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 265px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 237px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_l-ZV2KQMtkw/SQR_YTUjknI/AAAAAAAAB0k/xUp-yp29780/s320/rim_getty_062807.jpg" border="0" />One of the first things I did when I received my 8330, was to install my Google apps because, like everyone else in the world, I gave them my soul when 1GB of storage was first offered in GMail beta. I quickly realized that Google Reader wasn't going to be a very enjoyable experience. The browser can take ages to render and even when it does, sometimes it will leave half of the page off. Then I tried Opera Mini and although it offered more complete, mobile browsing, scrolling became a major pain. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Now, maybe some Bold owners can comment and let me know what they think of the updated version because word from RIM is that the browser has improved. I have yet to get my hands on one to test. But I also want to ask this - why are the browser options so limited on the Blackberry platform? Recently, I was testing out Skyfire on an HTC Touch with WinMo 6.1 and was really impressed with it. I was able to watch a football game in Hi-Res without hardly any problems. I'm also excited for the release of Fennec, Mozilla's mobile browser. </span><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_l-ZV2KQMtkw/SQR_jhTjYtI/AAAAAAAAB0s/968VTpqnr98/s1600-h/screenshot04.png"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261470512888111826" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 192px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_l-ZV2KQMtkw/SQR_jhTjYtI/AAAAAAAAB0s/968VTpqnr98/s320/screenshot04.png" border="0" /></span></a><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Fellow Blackberry users, let me know what you think!</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/961825392374516686-376396165415922786?l=ryanfife.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>R2Khimselfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05120958938039064204noreply@blogger.com0
