The end-of-page part is a bummer, but just tap on the status bar (where the time is) and it will take you to the top of the page.

- no search function in page
- no save page, no save-target-as (can't download an mp3, can play it though)

n800 browser is a dream in comparison, especially with flash
Have you tried double tapping in a column of interest? Safari (any iPhone OS webkit-based view) will zoom and fit the column to the screen. Double tapping again will zoom back out.

And Apple finally added the option of opening a link in a new window to tap-and-hold.

These features help my browsing experience quite a bit.

I'm not sure what n800 browser you're referring to, but if it's microb, for general browsing it can't be compared to mobile Safari on an iPod touch 2G.
