The problem I have with the storm's browser...
- is that it does not completely load a webpage. Take for example the full crackberry front page on the storm. If you wait for it to fully load it looks nice at first. But then when you scroll farther down the page you get a gray screen and have to wait for the rest of the page to load. I believe this is why the browser is so laggy and slow on full pages. Also, when you zoom in on the storm it is very slow and often has to reload that section of the page again. If you use safari on the iphone it is so much easier to use when a webpage has fully loaded. You can move all around the page with no lag and zooming is instant.

- I think the BB browser is actually closing the gap on Opera now. Opera used to be muuuuch faster but with the latest OS versions, it's catching up. Plus with all the functionality and security of the BB Browser, I'd stick with that.05-04-09 12:59 AMLike 0

- i dunno man, in my experience the blackberry browser always loads 26/27 images or 104/105 images and just hangs there. it's like it's lying to me05-04-09 07:50 AMLike 0
- Never tried the others but bb browser is hit or miss. Sometimes it's fast and smooth and then there are times when it's a joke...05-04-09 08:21 AMLike 0

- I saw on another thread that it was confirmed by the folks at Skyfire that it will not support the Storm. It may still work on the Storm, but in a crappy way most likely given the touchscreen difference.
To stay on topic though... the Storm's browser has failed my expectations and it's the reason why I'm ditching it soon. You basically can't even enable JavaScript without killing the speed and for any pages with a lot of content, it takes a dump as well and becomes almost un-scrollable.05-04-09 09:17 AMLike 0
