Actually osk appears to work very well now, although in the preferences dialog it screwed up on me once. This version still has some rendering bugs and speed issues, but it is coming along very nicely. They reworked parts of the UI and made scrolling nicer (i.e. it is harder to accidentally expose the controls when trying to move down the page). I am looking forward to the final version, but I think this project won't really come to fruition until maemo 5.

It doesn't seem to work here with fields in a form.
Another big issue is that a double tap zooms-in then immediately zooms out but the viewport cuts the top left part of the page and the only way to restore is to close the browser.

You can use only small keyboard, full screen is unavailable.

I am typing this from fennec alpha 2.

This is faster and better than earlier versions, and i think this will replace microb for some pages, but itT is something i am going to use with microb, zooming also works a lot better than it worked in alpha 1.

Well, it's an alpha version... But I think it looks promising. I'm sure this will be a real alternative to the built-in browser. I especially like the tab support. The swipe left/right to expose or hide the tabs or controls greatly enhances usability.

Yep, it is _very_ promising, i love it this far, even if alpha state software works a bit crappy. :D

Well, you are typing, I guess you are not using the on screen keyboard.
On screen keyboard here works on the address bar but not in web form fields. I could not pop up the thumb size on screen keyboard, when I hit the central button on the D-pad the web page containing the form is reloaded (it probably acts as "submit" button). I don't remember if it was working in alpha 1.

Is a maemo 5 enabled device supposed to have a physical keyboard?
