So I had an idea: fake iPhone's user agent on N900 browser, so browser mark will think N900 is a iPhone and will show a better score...

And the result:

N900 with iPhone's User Agent: 18340 points
N900 with default User Agent: 7680 points

SHAME!

So, who's to blame?

I hope I'm missing something... or is it the real thing? Is BrowserMark fake and try to fool people by telling them that iPhone's browser is better than others? Is Apple paying for it? What about Nexus One results?

My experiment is not 100% reliable but is a great clue... what you guys have to say? Someone with a better tech knowledge...

WTF is this?
its def not fake i oc'd my n900 to 1.15Ghz and got a score of 23000 using the midori browser, the micro b browser just isnt as fast as it could be, there is a browsermark thread somewhere to post ur scores on.
