I think the unacknowledged nub of this thread is right there in the opening post: experiencing the iPhone turns the N8xx browser experience into a painfully slow slog. (I've got an iPod Touch myself, but same deal.) And it seems to me that the right answer is not command-line tweaks or experimenting with buggy alternative browsers (unless such hacking around is fun for you, in which case go for it). The sad truth for me is that the many happy hours I spent with my N800 are now only a memory. In honor of open source and Linux, I'll keep my eyes open for Maemo 5 and a new generation of faster devices from Nokia, but I've been spoiled and corrupted by the fantastic leap forward in user experience, speed, and rich app development I'm getting from the iPhone/iPod Touch platform.
