However 640x480 still doesn't cut it on web pages. Pocket IE is average at best, and some 3rd party browsers are better but still nowhere compared to browsing on the Nokia.
Yes, x51v

I totally agree with your statement that the 640x480 screen isn't in the same league as the Nokia's screen, but the browsing experience is better. The 2700g Graphics chip with dedicated memory plus a CPU speed of 624MHz helps. 800x480 is fine unless you don't have enough memory or processing power to render the images. I really hope that the 800 will be a better web experience.

I also agree that IE is not the best browser. Opera makes the experience much, much better. It handles just about every page I care about except for Flash video/games. Netfront is pretty good, but I prefer Opera.

Mozilla was working on the Minimo browser, but I've not seen much work lately. I was really hoping for a "Pocket Firefox" browser since I use Firefox as my default browser for both my Linux and Windows machines.

I am eager to hear about people's experiences with the 800 as time goes on. It looks like a nice device.
