Are you running any other applications at the same time as the browser? If so, which ones?
With Flash on, 39 seconds to load the page to the point where it stops downloading and lagging. Without Flash on, 33 seconds. Without running any other applications.

It's also bizarrely rendered. It looks like it's downloading and looking like it should until the very last thing and then - BaM - the ad boxes get shoved around within the large, mostly vacant New York Times masthead box while the fonted name is dwarfed, the layout (that looked perfect before that last bit was downloaded) gets wonky and the photo that should appear right under the masthead is now suddenly half way down the page, shoved over to the right.

I've got OS2008 version w.w007.50-2.

My iGoogle page is also still flucked with everything below the tabs being shoved 3/4s of the way to the right - making the widgets impossible to read.

However, from reading posts on some of the other threads, slow loading times and wonky layouts don't seem to be particularly rare.

I figure it's gotta be the browser itself since I never have to rebuffer the radio stations and the bluetooth transfers are nice and quick.

It's ironic that my first post would be about getting radio stations since the slowness of the browser is really discouraging me from using the N800 for anything more than a glorified transistor radio at the moment

Still... I got me the most snazzy transistor radio (that can do slow double-duty as a web tablet) in my whole building! WoOoOoO hOoOoOoOo.
