And yet... nothing for us with prior hardware. "Fixed in Fremantle"... might as well say that and be done with it.

Just wait until Bundyo gets the ARM js optimizations & JIT added to Maemo Webkit. Zoom!

MicroB has a changeable user agent which allows you to see the full web pages of some sites which show only limited WAP content on phone browsers.
Well, I detest MicroB too (and hated it even more when they introduced browserd) and much prefer Tear with its webkit. Tear does really show what this hardware can do.
But Nokia could only work with what they had hardware-wise at the time, can't blame 'em for that. Won't argue with you about MicroB though.
And I agree an internet device should be supplied with a faster browser.

ARM JIT only accelerates javascript and by only 15% so don't hold your breath - its not a priority at least for me. It has been only tested with the QT branch AFAIK but maybe that changed.

Sometimes I'm really happy that I'm 40+ now.
Not to care about things like speed differences in browsers is probably one of the benefits that come with age.

Too bad, really, but what can you do? Thankfully upgrading the engine in the fully-opensource Fremantle MicroB should be a lot simpler.
Besides, Nokia has plans for XULRunner and WebKit doesn't offer anything equivalent.
Whatever, I've been over all of this several times before. Trust me (or don't) when I say they have good reasons for doing things as they have.
