Dear TMO,

I assume majority agrees that the N900 has a fantastic browser and thus provides great browsing experience for its users.

However, I'm also sure many are curious to find out how the N900 compares to the iPhone 3GS in terms of browsing, despite reassurances like 'it definitely rivals the iPhone', 'it's good enough'. I would love to know which one is better.

Here's an appeal to all N900 owners: if you do have an iPhone 3GS or your friend has one, and a bit of time to spare, please do upload a video comparing the browsing experiences on the iPhone and N900, side-by-side.

A video would be best, but of course written anecdotal accounts are welcome too, as seeing is believing.

Known facts:

N900 has higher resolution than iPhone;
N900 has flash support, iPhone doesn't;
N900 does not have pinch-to-zoom, iPhone does not have swirl to zoom.

Hence, I'd rather have reviews to focus on the unanswered,

1. Loading times, with cache cleared, on the same connection
2. Ease (speed, smoothness) of scrolling with fully loaded page (finger vs. finger, finger vs. stylus)
3. Extent and practicality of scrolling while page loads
4. Usability when it comes to frequency of zooming (i.e. do you need to zoom in and out very often?)
5. Rendering accuracy especially when loading complex pages

than discuss the above mentioned facts.

Thanks in advance.
