how do i copy text and images?
how do i use this browser in real-life?
it's really phenomenal how a browser that can do so little (and does what it does in such a complicated way) is so slow and has such a giant memory footprint.
(oh, and did i mention i had rendering issues with wrong fonts selected? why's this? shouldn't it render the same way as ff?)
I agree, this little fox is neither sly nor nimble on the N8**'s
I'm going back to my UserContent managed microB using qwerty12's WMLbrowser plug-in and my locally stored HTML.

Yeah, I take back most of the good things I said. There's no way a QA person put this thing through its paces on an n8x0. And there's no need for me to be specific. Just browse your 3 favorite sites in separate tabs and try to bounce back and forth between them. Enjoy!

Well
still slow on the 800. Probably expected.
Got two out of memory errors when I had NYT and counterpunch loading in separate tabs.
Fonts were really badly rendered and got worse as I used the zoom buttons.
Back to Tear and MicroB

On Google Mobile, it wants to know what phone I'm using and doesn't seem to work with my N800 (at least if I put in Android or Other).

Can we foresee a Fennec - MicroB "war" in a close future? ^^

(being able to frighten the kids away with creepy stories from the past is one of the joys that come with age.)

it doesn't give you the full, shiny WML user experience, but it works. what would happen on a real WML device is that the WML-site comes up automatically when you go to http://members.aon.at/neumair/
also, there'd by a stunningly beautiful black-and-white image on top of the page. (and by black-and-white, i mean real black-and-white: no shades of grey) the plug-in can't handle this image format.
and of course, you wouldn't see all of the text on one page. the sections (properly named cards) would appear as separate pages on your handset. this is why you need the links in between for navigation.
now isn't it beautiful?

Hi All,
Perhaps I'm missing something, but I thought the built in browser on the N900 was built on Mozilla's engine. If this is the case why have Fennec? Which presumably is also built on mozilla tech?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but it seems odd to have two browsers that seem to be from the same people (i.e. Mozilla).
