Built in web browser - awful use of screen real estate

[monstermunch]

I just recently got an i8910

Is it me or is the built in web browser awful? The use of screen real estate is so bad it looks like it's been designed by Fisher Price, it's slow, clunky and just generally horrible to use. Yes you can go to full screen mode but you have to come in and out of full screen to do anything and there's no tabbed browsing. It's just such a poor effort.

Thank god for Opera mobile.

Only had my i8910 a few weeks and although the hardware is superb it seems to be let down by an awful OS and clunky native applications + most of the third party symbian apps I've tried don't even work.

*has had head turned by the Nexus One and is already thinking of selling the i8910*

yes the built in browser is crap,the KS on the newer FWs gave a bit of life but still...

try Opera Mobile 10 Beta

I'm also enjoying using Skyfire (in addition to Opera).

have tried the built in phone browser ,awful,opera 10 which isa whole lot better but for me it has to be "skyfire".
Very fast and it plays all the videos i`ve ever encountered on web sites which niether of the other 2 do .

Lets all admit it, the best thing about skyfire is ability to access redtube

rofl, I've tried and tried to get back into the built in browser after going HX2.0, however its just a really really bad heap of poo. It could of used a overhaul and not just "refinements". Thank god Skyfire is on the symbian ship :P

Checked that out, purely in the name of research you understand and it's no go on 3G for me. Of course I would never look at such filth normally if it wasn't for the good of the i8910 community......
