Granted the browser is probably better than 90% of the other Cell/PDA browsers out there. Still I expect better.

I have to take exception to that "low standards" statement. I believe it is quite the opposite. Safari 3 is a known beta product but compared to WAP intenet access from most phones it is mannah from heaven. Secondly the product overall is well designed. I just got myself an iPhony (an iPhone knock off) and it has made me appreciate the attention to detail that went into the iPhone UI and believe me, it is the UI that is selling the iPhone. What people have is a low expectations of cell phone UI's and are blown away by the relatively high standard of the iPhone UI.
