Did RIM and prerelease reviewers/testers lie about the browser?
- Did we get lied to when they said that the Storm's browser was Webkit? Just doesn't seem to render all that well. What's the deal CX? Is this thing Webkit or what? If it is, why is it still using RIM's proxy servers to browse?11-22-08 11:09 PMLike 0

- I don't remember anyone saying it is webkit.
What is this about Blackberry Proxy's and what are you refering to when you say "when I switched to the Internet Browser from the Blackberry Browser that it was MUCH faster and just seemed to work better in general".

This info was out a while back. Of course, I don't expect your *** to know this because you haven't been part of the BB community a lot. Now GTFO you Storm BB fanboy. isht, I don't need your stupid *** posts in here. Let the people that know what the details behind this are post and you can just sit back and play in the "I'm giving my Storm a bl0wj0b it's so cool." thread. Mmmkay.
Now back to the conversation on subject.11-22-08 11:44 PMLike 0 - I don't remember anyone saying it is webkit.

- Out from where? source? was it from RIM's specs on website or from your fatty ***? That was pure speculation, so stop being an a**hole.
If you just want to know the truth, I have answered it, it was never ever stated on any of the formal sources, so it is NOT webkit based.

- WTF is wrong with you people? I just want to know the truth behind this? I'm not bashing isht! I think you morons are misreading all my posts because obviously you can't just once discuss something about the Storm without having to defend it. I just want truthful answers to my questions, not stupid posts defending the unit. Taking your own suggestion, I get it... stop defending the Storm, it's getting old.11-22-08 11:58 PMLike 0

- Obviously you have no idea what you're talking about. I challange you to read all my 4000+ posts and decide how many are actually bashing people. The posts that do this are usually triggered by posts such as the ones in this thread. I asked a simple question, everyone jumped on my business and I snapped your heads back. I'm not going to take isht from anyone and I have no problem letting you know that.
Now for God's sake, can someone with some credit comment intelligently on the original speculations/info leading everyone to believe that the browser in the Storm was better then the Bold due to it being Webkit engine developed. Even BGR was under the same impression, so let's not get all bent out of shape that it's not listed on RIM's site. Obviously the info came from somewhere... be it leaked info, incorrect info, placed falsehoods, whatever. Comment on that, not anything else please.

As for webkit...it was debunked before the phone was released.
THere were some other posts as well that debunked it too. http://forums.crackberry.com/f86/iph...66/#post99690611-23-08 12:14 AMLike 0 - As for webkit...it was debunked before the phone was released.

I think they where at one time thinking and discussing whether they would switch to webkit but decided on developing there own with webkit as an influence. I know they did use webkit in beta tests though.
I don't remember them saying they would implement webkit in the storm though, but they were considering it at a time.Last edited by intay; 11-23-08 at 02:28 AM.

On topic, I'm still not seeing any reference to a particular source where Webkit was ever mentioned as a possibility or a likelihood for the finished product - only speculative desire by reviewers and hopefuls who wanted it to be Webkit based but with no direct evidence of this. While it was possibly seen in beta, I can't see any mention of this intended for the final product. It's called beta (and alpha) for a reason. Can you point us to any?11-23-08 02:49 AMLike 0 - I'd seen early articles saying that the browser was rumored to be Webkit-based, but in the last few months I don't remember seeing anything specifically saying that the browser would use Webkit, though I do recall (but can't find offhand) a pre-release review referring to the browser as a RIM home-brew. I think it's been awhile since the last time I was under the impression that the browser would use Webkit.11-23-08 03:51 AMLike 0
