Have our prayers been answered?
- I saw today on various websites that RIM will be developing a web browser that will rival the Iphone in speed, page rendering, the works. Yep, that's what it said. Just today, I saw that it will incorporate full flash support. Just from those two tidbits of information, by next summer, BBs will have the best web browsers of any smartphone. I can't believe it. It is the one thing that has kept any BB from really being a perfect phone. Any other aspects of BBs can be debated and dismissed due to personal preferences, but the browser was a substantial concern by many BB users. But it will be fixed. Our prayers have been answered. Hmmmm....what will we complain about now?08-19-09 03:56 PMLike 0
- also, it makes me want to hold off the 9700 Onyx that is coming out later this year. I will wait for the devices that have the browser upgrades.08-19-09 04:16 PMLike 0

- It could happen, but it's not like iphone developers aren't trying to improve their web browsing

mobile browser. Especially because it won't be out for such a long time. I
don't think they're sitting on their hands in Cupertino, CA08-19-09 05:07 PMLike 0 - Yeah, RIM will improve their browser but Apple I'm sure will still be a step ahead... Not that a care, just saying.08-19-09 05:44 PMLike 0

- I hear you, but the Apple web browser is touted as the best in the business. BBs are the best all the way around. It would be in RIM's best interest to at least compete with Apple's web browser.

They have slated the summer to be the launching of this new web browser. Well the summer is usually when the new iphone comes out. BB is hoping to still some of their thunder and really go head to head with the iphone's browser.

Remember, LTE isn't going to be ready for the masses until fall of next year. With that in mind, hoping for a newer browser for the summer of next year means it will still be a non-full flash version. So, that model will be available on the newer 9XXX series, I'm willing to bet.08-19-09 08:20 PMLike 0 - The full flash support, yes that will most likely require LTE.

I am an engineering tech at one the largest CMDA chip manufacturers, and we are still working on LTE. The test base stations that are needed to even develop a chip isn't even built yet.08-19-09 08:56 PMLike 0 - But we have been hearing reports that the top three carriers will be unveiling 4G networks in the upcoming year.
