Re: What phone has best internet browser??

In my experience, the iPhone has the best browsing experience.

I chose my words carefully there... as the best browser and the best browsing experience aren't necessarily the same. Take Opera on Windows Mobile handsets for instance. It's not an OS integrated app, it's an installed app that has to launch and run and therefore you lose out on the slick feel of the iPhone and Android handsets. But it's a very good application in it's own right.

Android (HTC Hero) is 95% as good as the iPhone due to it's integration with the OS and other apps and the fact it renders pages very nicely indeed.

But the iPhone just shades it for me, with it's slicker feel and navigation and lightning fast responses.

Re: What phone has best internet browser??

iPhone and the Nokia N96 both use Webkit. Don't think your browsing experience will be much different. (apart from the touchscreen component obviously)

S60WebKit

WebKit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Re: What phone has best internet browser??

While I wouldn't disagree with the assertion that the iPhone offers the best browsing solution for now, that may change in the next couple of months, given that the iPhone is about the only phone- or computing-platform in the entire world that will not get full-on Flash support. Adobe have announced that they will be releasing a full version of FlashPlayer 10.1 for absolute everything except the iPhone, with beta versions being made available for many operating systems this side of Christmas. Once that happens, I think the iPhone will start to be at a disadvantage.

On some WinMo phones, Opera is set up to stay running in the background at all times unless you force it to exit. That makes it "launch" instantaneously. (Of course, depending on how much memory is available on the phone, you might not want to make it do that!)

Re: What phone has best internet browser??

Depending on how patient you are, you might want to check out the Motorola Droid or Acer Liquid (high-end Android phones) or maybe the Nokia N900.

Any Android device. HTC Hero would be my first choice.

Because Flash isn't the be-all and end-all of internet browsing. I can only speak on my own personal experience and try not to let internet hype and reviews dictate my opinion as others seem to. For me, Flash rarely makes an appearance on websites I visit for anything other than annoying adverts.
My biggest use of Flash is YouTube and that's integrated into the phone, so big wow.

I would agree with this. One of the reasons why i chose the iphone 3gs, as overall i felt it had the best user experience.
