    Time it took to fully load Crackberry.com



    Bolt VZW 1XEV (BB Tour) - 00:21.6

    *Opera Mini 5.0 Beta VZW 1XEV (BB Tour) - 00:28.9

    *Stock BB Browser VZW 1XEV (Tour) - 01:46.2

    *iPhone Safari AT&T 3G -00:39.8

    *Palm Pre Stock Browser Sprint 3G - 00:47.5




    * The Webpage doesn't fully loaded without scrolling to the bottom of the page, so you can add about 5 - 7 more sec to the total time.

    Opera Mini and Bolt better be faster... The rendering isn't actually done on your phone.

    I've got to say opera mini 4.2 is pretty fast. My only complaint is sometimes it doesn't fully load pics.

    Opera Mini and Bolt cheat. You're actually just browsing the web on their server.
    Your phone isn't really doing the browsing for the most part.

    Think of it like playing a game on your home PC through remote desktop. The device you're doing the remote desktop from isn't actually handling the game...

    guys! I am a newbie and use the browser that comes with the BB Tour on VZW.

    It is really slow. Can you suggest one of the other browsers you guys are playing with?

    what should I know about your choice?

    thanks

    This may be one of the few times I've been in favor of cheating...

    Go with to boltbrowser.com on your Berry and download it. It's fast and easy to use. Since you're a noob, you should stay away from Opera Mini for now.

    Just curious why you say that... I use both and don't find one to be any harder/easier to use than the other. Some websites work better with the default browser than either two as well.

    Well, Privacy is a major downside but I do love the Bolt Browser. Safari is by far the best mobile browser on the planet and the competition is 3 years behind. But, OMG At&t is killing the iPhone right now. America's fastest 3G my culo!

    You're right, the sites do look better on the default browser but trying going to Hp.com, IGN.com or Crackberry.com. It takes almost 2 mins for each page to load and most images never load.

    I think its more that Opera Mini 5 Beta is still a Beta at heart, and while its still very polished, it does have the occasional glitch to it.

    Ahhh, well, yes, I agree. The beta is maybe not for the faint of heart just yet.

    do you mean that privacy is a concern because bolt's servers are involved?

    Not really 3 years. There are some 3rd party webkit based browsers that offer a similar experience and aren't even final yet. That and Safari is lacking some things that other browsers already have had for a while.

    Privacy is a downside since you basically are using your information/data on someone else's "computer" and have no idea how they handle, encrypt, or what they do with it. The other downsides are that Opera Mini is java based, doesn't fully load large pages (it will just stop loading the images at some point), is less customizable than most browsers, etc.
