I have both the iphone and the Storm. The only thing I like better on the iPhone is the browser. What is the best browser setting for the Storm? The default Blackberry setting make web site look cheap. Can anyone tell me which setting makes it look the best?

I don't think the Storm is full HTML like an iPhone so it won't look exactly the same as a "normal" website. You can either configure your browser not to identify you as a mobile device and it will load the full page (which will take longer). Or, most websites will have an icon or link to the full site where you can view the site as if you'd see it on a regular computer screen.
Get Opera Mini. It's the fastest browser by far, and you can view full web pages in their native form at lightning fast speed.
It downloads the content on Opera's servers, compresses it, and then sends it to your device. So your phone doesn't have to do all the work!
I just got it, and it's awesome. Certain limitations, but overall a great browser and caused me to fall in love with my Storm again.
Opera is def the fastest, but I find it doesn't quite load images ala a PC browser.
For best true HTML rendering, I use Bolt (boltbrowser.com). It's a bit slower than Opera, but still faster than BB browser, and it looks outstanding. The UI is a bit of a challenge to adopt - not Storm friendly at all - but the results are what count. It even allows playing YouTube vids embedded in pages, etc. Best part is it's FREE!

I will first admit I cant stand my Storm or RIM after they put this thing out with all the problems and left us without wifi. I knew about the wifi and deal with it but all in all I had to stick with Verizon and took a chance. My contract is almost up and I cant wait, but for the next few months I am proud to say after downloading opera mini, surfing the web on my Storm is way better. There is about a 15 to 20 minute learning curve (at least for me) and WOW what a difference. Why cant RIM get anything right with this Storm? Who works at this place anyways? a bunch of kids!!! If you have a Storm and want a better web experience get the opera mini, it makes the storm tolerable.
