A little Hate To Everyone!

I'm very disappointed to every web browser for PDA

1. IE I Sucks! Big Time nothing more to tell everyone knows

2. Minimo SUCKS! not full web browser

3. Opera Mini ummm Java to bad if you have a WM Phone we need more power

4. Opera Mobile 8.5 kind of sucks... 9.5 ummmm to many laboratory rat versions... ummm tacking to long to solve Flash Problems pure render phones like mogul with less ram get stock and run out of memory in big pages....

5. Skyfire FUCK that People I once think that they can do it well nop taking to long to have nice fully working fully open to everyone fuck subscribing

6. and last but not least FIREFOX ummmm over promised under delivered we have not seen up today any cab file...

Sorry I have not seen yet any full browser that can run flawless in a mogul with full flesh flash 9 and beyond and nice frame rate with video....

I have a 400MHZ processor 64 MB of RAM come on I have less power on some linux servers and they can pull it out a nice web experience...

Can your Linux server call people? wirelessly and can you put it in your pocket thing is if we put a 2.4ghz CPU in there the Battery wouldnt last the first second PIE Plus is ok i like it thats what i use

Opera Mini supports my needs just fine. I can access EVERY site even online banking and it's fast. What's your gripe about it? Seriously there really is no END-ALL to mobile browsers, maybe YOU should create one? Not only solves your problem, but you'd probably become extremely famous. Sounds like a win-win, no?

It's just a damn shame that Apple will never release Safari for windows mobile. On my ipod it works pretty damn nice. But I can't see Jobs ever being that nice to us windows guys.

haha - just had a revelation - Us Windows guys want the IPhone interface (think SPB shell, Winterface etc) and the Apple guys want Windows stuff (more apps that work better, ability to sync with computers running Windows, Microsoft exchange support and copy/paste).

If you're really that bitter about all the mobile web browsers then maybe you should carry a laptop around with you. IE is my browser of choice and it serves my purposes well. Learn to work with what you have.

[RobDahlgren]

I share your frustration. Mostly it lies with Microsoft. They haven't done any major upgrades to PIE since WINCE 4.2 (and probably before that). It took Apple to show get them to even start working on it.

If someone does come up with the perfect solution, I'll buy it (or subscribe, if I must!).

Safari wins by a long shot when it comes to mobile Internet Browsers. In as much as I am pissed, I just dont browse the net anymore on my phones. Its too stressful.And just far from doing the job. I only like Opera Mini, the rest can go to sleep.

Have you tried Netfront 3.5? I use it almost exclusively, and I think it's better than every browser you mentioned, including skyfire (bleh) and Opera Mobile 9.5 (double beh).

[MOBGangsta184]

Mobile Safari doesn't support flash either, this guy needs to CREATE his own solution.

[mike-y]

yep, apple's browser is also crippled without flash support. the interface is slick though.

I use mostly Netfront and Skyfire, depending on what I need to do. Skyfire is very promising, but its still beta, and takes too long to render simple mostly-text pages like forums (since each page is basically a rendered screen shot).

Netfront seems to be the quickest for me for most things otherwise, and is the most versatile with tabs and such.

But its not like I expect my phone to be a laptop, so I know it has shortcomings.

To the OP,

Why spread all that negativity? To each it's own, obviously there's different browsers b/c people have different preferences. Sounds, like you'd be better off with carrying a laptop or UMPC.

Me personally, Opera 9.5 works for me and for those sites it doesn't work on, Skyfire does the job for me. Opera mini, is set as my default browser and is fast enough for me.

[maniakx]

i personally dont mind pocket IE with PIEPLUS 2.2 it adds the save link as option i always needed. opera mini works as a backup when some text feilds are unavailable in PIE. like this reply box

[ScottC]

I agree 100% with the OP. Browsers on WinMo DO suck. Opera makes things a little better, and Skyfire isn't that bad, but IMHO it is the responsibility of Microsoft to fire the entire PIE team and hire some real developers. People who understand usability, interfaces and performance. It's saying something when HTC need to turn to Opera to get their hands on a better browser.

PIE is a total piece of crap, and has been for years. They keep making us thing that the next version of WinMo will have an improved browser, but it never does. Phone CPU speeds and transfer speeds have been increasing for years, but that turd PIE still chugs along at a snails pace.

I'm as happy as a retard

This would be the true convergence.

I am not sure if I got a bad version of this (mine said 3.5 I thought) from this link here. (https://www.access.co.jp/english/nfppc/form.php?type=4). My filename was NFB35EN_WMPRO_R007CV.CAB. Post your version if you have something else.

I have been running this for a few now, and there is certainly something funny with the fonts coming up in Courier (goes away if you choose Tahoma), I don't like the way it looks.

I must be missing something with the encrypted page popup, but I cant get many of my "tough" pages to load. Please let me know if this is something I have wrong in my setup, or if there are workarounds.

Played around with Skyfire and it is much better for my difficult pages and seems to be the only browser that runs Chaperone online version. Though it is a little slower than Opera, it is much more user friendly than NetFront at least from the five minutes I played with it. I hope I am wrong.

Hi PhilR8,

I've tried in the past to acquire NetFront with no luck. Is it only available exclusively?

[Protonus]

Fennec is our best hope I think (the WinMo version of Firefox) that is still in development. It exists, they're working on it, and I'd expect to see it this year. The Firefox guys know what they're doing and their goals for the platform are what we need.
