Huge disappointment or me just stupid?

[jketzetera]

After receiving some positive answers to my previous thread I decided to invest in a Universal. I went to a store which actually had a Qtek 9000 running and decided to try it out before paying. Browsing the web with Pocket Internet Explorer over 3G went quite smooth but to my huge disappointment Pocket IE was usesless in handling webpages using lots of tables (IE just kept resizing the page so I would get lots of scrollbars over the entire webpage, making it unusable). I tried changeing a few settings in IE but only succeded to change the page rendering into single column which made things even worse.

The webpage in question was www.sl.se.

Now to my questions:

1. Was I just plain stupid i.e. is there a way to change the settings in PocketIE so that the webpage is displayed without any resizing whatsoever (and so that one can scroll over the entire webpage)?

2. Is there any other browser software (i.e. Opera) which would support normal rendering of webpages.

Maybe it is just me who is stupid but if you have a device that support 640x400 resolution why not enable normal rendering of webpages. Normal wepbages are made with 800x600 resolution in mind, thus the amount of scrolling back and forth should not be to big of a problem.

I think you can bring up the context menu and change display format, one column, desktop, original etc.
You can also engage fullscreen mode which increases screen size.

Ensure that you have VGA mode enabled if your device supports it.

And generally, I think NetFront is considered the best 3rd party alternative.

Many thanks for the info and the screenshot!

I actually tried one column, desktop and original but was unable to get the page rendered as a full web page (it just kept resizing it to 640x400).

I would really appreciate if you could surf to www.sl.se with your Universal and post a screen dump. If it works properly I will finally bite the bullet and invest in a Universal.

Best,

Jörgen

The problem with the UNI is that by default it is in 320X240 res and you can't get to use the wonderful 640X480 screen unless you use 3rd party s/ware

I don't see that as much of a problem - Opera is free and much much better.
