On this topic, does anyone know if the Bold HTML traffic still goes through RIM's servers to strip out the "unusable" code? I know with previous devices the web traffic would hit the RIM servers first, have non-renderable Java and things like that stripped out (mostly), and then it would be piped down to your Curver, Pearl, 8700, etc.
Anyone? Even with a rock-solid 3g signal, the Bold browser is pretty slow at rendering pages.
Oh, and at the risk of getting flamed, I know faster speeds are possible simply because the iPhone 3g and Safari friggin _rock_ the web-browsing experience. People like to poke fun at the video of the two rendering a page side-by-side when the berry was dropping into EDGE coverage, however the Bold experience still doesn't come close to that of the iPhone while browsing. I haven't tried OperaMini on the Bold, but maybe it would make it more palatable.
Now I'm not chucking my berry in favor of the iPhone, the other advantages made it the other way around, actually, but seriously, who can really read this 5-6pt font that RIM has chosen to allow onto this screen. For goodness sake, this isn't the 3.5" (or whatever) screen of the iPhone, even if the resolution is the same.
