VGA WEB Browser which one

[Daimaou]

Having a VGA PDA is nice, but Microsoft made useless Pocket IE, which Browser will help me to REALLY surf in VGA mode, I do not want to put the VGA Hack for everything

[srmz]

I am afraid there are very few options at the moment. Give Bitstream's Thunderhawk a try though it is a bit expensive as you have to select a package of regular payment. However use there free trial period and if you like it you may continue.

I am also anxiously waiting for the WM5 compatible version of Access Netfront and Opera.

I was using Netfront 3.2 on my previous i-mate pda2k but this does not work on the JJ.

What VGA hack? Do you know of one that works for WM5 or Pocket IE? I've been looking for one.

Thanks,
Brett

I've always liked opera and used to use it loads on my SE P800/P900. Does anyone know if they plan to release a WM5 version? Should we ask them?

minimo support VGA not sure if it works on 2005 though

[tintoy]

It doesn't (at least it didn't for me)

This is reall stupid, MS made the OS quite well except for Web browsing... :(

I never cease to be amazed when I ponder the absolute stupidity of Pocket IE. To some extent I can understand why some people would want to use the pixel doubling feature on a VGA device, but why on earth wouldn't they give us the option to disable it?

It really is pathetic isn't it. They give us the options of having the text as small as we like but then it goes and makes all the pictures massive and blocky.
I guess MS just don't want people to use the browser.

And worst off all VGA work flawlessley on Terminal Service... :x

Well, there you go then. I'll remote desktop through to my server, which will RD through to a desktop machine (with slightly more lapse security settings than my server; eg running scripts, etc) and I'll use that IE in that instead :roll:

Tried the install of minimo on my Jasjar. Ran thru the normal start of installation, then i got a msg on the pda screen that the install was unsuccessful!

[Asukal]

I tried to use Minimo very eary time i got Jasjar, yse works.
But not only too slow but also the size was too big for me.
Not good solution for me.

That why i am using Opera for MS Smart Phone and Opera Mini for GSM Phone on MIDLet.

Opera Mini is the best for me at this moment..... :lol:

How do you use Opera Mini without being in Norway?

There website says Norway only.

Unfortunately Bitstream Thunderhawk that is the best browser at the moment does'nt work with jj. Anyone managed to work with it and jj?

[weatheryoko]

@ 155,
You can run it. The default language is Scandanavian (Please don't shoot me if I have that wrong). But you can go into the settings and change it to english. I didn't find the program too useful, but it does work.

Sorry late replay, already not up to date i think.... :oops:

@lucazaffiro.

Bitstream Thunderhawk does work on the JJ. It is working for me.

The trick is that before you tap the Thunderhawk Icon (eye) rotate the screen to portrait. If you start Thunderhawk without rotating the screen to portrait then it gets stuck.

Please do let me know if this helped.

Kind regards

Yes, I got thunderhawk to work by rotating screen to portrait, but the display with thunderhawk is worse than the normal browser. Plus it was very slow. I guess it was not made for vga screen. You can adjust the settings of the normal browser and it looks better than thunderhawk.
