Having never used any other 3g smart phone I guess I've been oblivious to the fact that my N900 is very poor when it comes to loading web pages.

I thought it was brilliant compared to my N95 with edge... until I used my friends Droid the other day and it pulled up web pages instantly while my N900 hadn't even STARTED to load the page.

Is this a known problem with the N900 browser?

Its a known problem with the fact that the droid is most likely loading mobile versions of the pages - while the N900 is load the ACTUAL page - including all the flash etc.

My suggestion would be check the thread on adblock-plus for the n900 and change the cache setting in your browser to 40MB.

I guess I should have re-worded my post because I'm more concerned with the time it sits there before it even begins to load the page.

Just to re-iterate.. on a wifi network loading facebook touch the time it takes to actually load the web page is almost instant but the fact that it hangs for 5-10 seconds before actually loading it is horrible.

Try a different web browser if MicroB (I assume you are using the stock browser) is not fast enough for you. Opera is available. Check the thread on it and see if it is faster.

Lots of the standard mozilla tweaks help microb as well.

Could it be the web browser starting up? There is definitely, at least on my N900, a rather long delay while MicroB loads but subsequent pages loads are pretty snappy.

That may be what it is.. visually it doesn't look like it.. I'm not sure I have the words to explain it but what I'm experiencing is the status bar flashing from one end of the address bar to the other before any loading occurs.

I recommend you check your dns setting.

I remember seeing a bug (fixed in PR1.2) that means that if you have a large browser history, the browser takes a long time to start up and shut down.

You could try deleting your history via the Clear Private Data menu and see if it helps.
