I posted something similar some months ago but thins change. What is the best mobile device/browser currently available. Particularly looking for something to work with Google documents and sites like Basecamp. Best i have found is IE on WM6. Any other suggestions? How are things like UMPCs working. Have they become worth getting yet? Thanks for sharing your experiences

Opera on WM6 is very impressive at the moment, but on a mobile device I have to say that running Mozilla on the N800 was the best I've ever seen. The N800 is a little underpowered for large site renderings, bit the browser handled everything I threw at it

In the UMPC market the second generation devices like the Samsung Q1Ultra are really quite usable. Faster CPU's and better displays. Of course, the Shift is the one that'll set a new benchmark for them...

I'm going to have to say Safari on the iPhone is a huge leap above everything else. When you can check in online and choose seats on a seatmap, it's a beautiful thing.

I've been using Opera on the TyTN II. The trial period however just ended for me and now it looks like I'm going to have to pay for it. I've been happy with it, enough to pay for it later this week. It even handles my www.hotwire.com and www.priceline.com bookings well. I did have some issues with trying to log into Vonage to do stuff to change settings, but don't recal if I tried using Explorer and had the same issue or not.

Another vote for Mozilla running on an N800; the screen and form factor make it an elegant choice. The recent price drops (as low as $232) heighten that appeal.

opera. opera is the best on a mobile phone, other than safari on the iphone. I guess that is why opera is able to get so much money for it.

the netfront browser is also good, but not as developed or refined. I think for the DASH you are using, PIE has gotten much better in WM6.

mozilla makes a mobile browser version, but it really is crap. lots of crashes, not supported. It is someones pet project at mozilla I think. Can't even remember the name to not recommend. Mobismo or something like that.

Ive been pretty disappointed with Opera to be honest. I havent been about to use it on sites with a lot of interactive stuff like Basecamp which we use for some project planning. The PIE in WM6 works somewhat on that site, but it could be better.

Minimo.

And yes, it is useless. Thankfully the "real" Mozilla development teams are working on mobile versions.

For non-iPhone use, Opera Mini is awesome. Once I had it installed on my many WinMo phones, I never went back to IE, not even once. The main thing, aside from the full-page scroll, that I love is the fact that they proxy and compress everything. It makes browsing on a GPRS connection not a bad experience at all.
