Has anyone with access to a N900 tried to complete the ACID3 test, and if not would anyone be able to run the test and see how it compares to a webkit browser, if a webkit browser can eve run the test. opera mobile on my phone threw 4 exceptions, and halted the test after 0.87s. Would you mind posting a video comparison, hopefully someone can clue me in. I like this computer but want a way to analyze the differences b.w the sony xperia x10 and the n900.
as far as everyone saying its a complete and competent browser, i would just like to see how it holds up against real desktop browsers, and webkit.

thanks a lot!!!

ps: first post "HEY EVERYONE!!!" been reading about the N900 for a while but havent seen the tests run outside of independent battery issues, at least on this forum, PLUS im done with unboxing videos on youtube in 10 different languages, we need something substantive now that the device is out.

heya, never heard of the acid3 test - would help if you posted a link in future

Well it counts up to 94/100 on the browser on 3g - my laptop goes to 93 on wireless ?! lol

So no idea what that means....

Cocky sod - i said in future - found it and provided my test results....

Why is everyone on here getting ridiculous - second post tonight where someone posts a google link to be funny.... wouldn't have minded if you had actually been useful and cocky at the same time....

You could have been slightly more useful by doing the tests yourself, maybe explaining the Acid tests to the rest of the world who don't understand it?

The acid tests try out different browsers for functionality and standards compliance. Acid3 is the latest and greatest. And firefox 3.5 gets 93/100. Few browsers get 100 (i think chrome does)

Eeek, Konqueror still sucks it seems (4.3.2) as it only reaches 89 and complains that it failed the links test. It also seems to draw the whole box too large.

I had to try it though, as people seem to think WebKit is the holy grail of HTML rendering but in my experience, its usually much worse than Gecko although faster. Its hardly rocket science to do things faster by doing them wrong though.

Eeeek, iPod Touch Safari reaches 100.

That said it clearly says the animation should be smooth and its not, it stalls several times. But then I haven't seen it run on anything and NOT stall at least twice, so I find the test rather dubious.

Chill, mate. Your alias is "monkey", your avatar is a monkey, you care to inform us in your post you didn't know what the acid test was, you run a browser that doesn't get 100/100 (get Opera 10), you add the irrelevant for the test info about the type of connection -- and then you wonder why people act smart with you...

Thanks for the results of the test by the way.
