Full Internet

Is it possible to get "full internet" on the Artemis aka as the Iphone and just seen the LG Viewty has? Or is this down to the service provider? I know you can view full pages, but the scroll bar navigation is a pain.

Try to find Picsel Browser i am using this one for a little while and it's great

Hi I have looked at this software and it looks great do any of the mods know if it will work on our devices or is that just wishful thinking.

Has anyone had a look at Deepfish? i think its in testing, looks good tho.

-edit- just use Opera Mini!!!

Opera mini 4 is by far the best, and works very similar to how Safari operates on the iPhone.

Opera Mini is absolutely the best. Especially the new opera mini 4. Works real fast, minimizes the download amount, and speeds the loading of pages on GPRS connections.

you can set your device to view in Desktop mode as it is, not the fastest though but this is down to the network speed and will be about the same as the iPhone. Your device has always had the ability to view the full internet, as long as your provider allows it.

I just downloaded Opera Mini... WOW!

sorry , was a mistake

The real thing is Opera for Windows Mobile 8.65. Almost desktop experience including tabs, secure connections etc.

True, but until Opera Mobile 9 is released, the free java based mini is far superior in terms of general usability.

New IrisBrowser The Opera Killer?

the new release of IrisBrowser is out with FlashLite support
and using webkit.
It's faster than Opera in my first tests.
Looks very promising now.
http://www.irisbrowser.com/download/download3.php
What do you think?

cheers for the heads up - downloading now - sounds promising.

Tested with the Official FlashLite 3.1 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=483240

yes really nice browser but the navigation could be more intuitive. but i think he works great and fast and thats it

Fast? Are you sure... it seems to be uite slow in loading. The operation is fast, and scrolling once loaded nice... but nothing special.

iris is pretty slow over gprs but not bad on wifi, it does however render much better than any other mobile browser..

Iris, Opera, Skyfire
I like the opera for the nice smooth look around in websites thing.. And iris is nice animations between wesite changes it like fades but it seems its kinda the same as opera to showing websites.. But it can´t show every website with flash content.. And i found a browser that can do it.. Skyfire new release now for Touch HD with wvga screen.. It takes all sites flash content and everything.. It is also fastest browser of them all.. Im not sure about if it works with edge.. I only have 3g and HSDPA.. In mobile browser type "get.skyfire.com" like internet explorer, opera diddent work for me to download skyfire in.

I just tried version 1.0.1.6. a few days ago. Is this the same version or newer than that?

this one is 1.1....really nice.

iplayer on iris
bbc iplayer doesnt even work on it so how is it good

Had tried out almost every release in the past, and this version is a big improvement over the past's. It is better than I have expected, but is still not good enough. I can't download file correctly, just see garbage on the screen. Just like Opera, it cause havoc to smart keyboard such as Tengo and TouchPal.
One nice thing that it excel over Opera is that it has shows a miniaturised webpage with a red rectangle representing the currently view area, and you're able to drag that red rectangle around to quickly move from one part of the web page to another other part quickly. I wish Opera Mobile can do that rather than having to swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe....swipe, swipe....swipe.
I like the fact that just like Opera Mobile, you can double tap to zoom in and out.
Yes, I think the rendering is slightly better than Opera Mobile but not as good as Opera Mini.
Speed wise, I rank them as Opera Mini being the fastest, Opera Mobile second, and Iris Browser last.
Still prefere Opera (both Opera mobile and Opera mini). Have been using Opera Mini lately and begin to prefer it over Opera Mobile.
But, I can see that given time this could be improved to an extend worthy of contending against Opera.

I prefer Netfront cos : in Iris the keyboard don't appear when you're in a textbox, and the doubletap to zoom is painful because when you want to tap on a button, it's so hard than you double tap everytime.

I agree with this. Opera mmini offers the best "net experience" smooth and fast. Not perfect, though.
Does anyone know if it is capable of multiple pages or tabs?

I've installed both Iris Browser (like it!) and Flash Lite 3.1 from this link above but flash contents won't show up on my HD - just a white screen ... what do I have to do?
Eriol

i tried this out today on wifi and also on HSPDA and i much prefer the opera browser then this one, its just not as fast for lookin at things on the internet, its not as easy to go and click on things, or work your way around the page.
i have yet to try flash properly on my htc HD, the only way i have used it so far was with skyfire (new wvga version).
anyone prefer this browser?

I really love this browser.... simple and easy to use.....

Hello
For me I like it a lot it's fast and the zoom is working well
It's supporting the landcaspe...
personnaly I'm converted

just tried 1.1.1. it's not bad but needs some work. Zoom in /out + scrolling around is slow compared to Opera (build 15529), switching between tabs is fiddly (you have to go into the menu to switch, no fast button like Opera), address bar is tiny (and keeps hiding itself) plus it's a memory hog (or it has a memory leak - had to reboot my phone after surfing just one website).
to summarise, it's promising but still needs quite a bit of work.

New version available 1.1.3

For Excalibur the best option is Opera mini
But here you can find all Opera Mobile versions:

Think 8.65 was the last release of Opera Mobile for SP?
Oh the question best Opera? can't beat having both,
Opera Mini: fast as &*@&, low on data.
Opera Mobile: very similar to PIE but a hell of alot more secure, tabbed browsing
Skyfire: only real plus is flash & lets ask how often do you realy use it for flash, rendering of pages slow, screams beta all the way.
PIE: Delete the shortcut so you never accidentaly yap it

I use:
- Opera Mobile 8.65
- UCWEB probably the best server side browser out there, faster then Opera with way more options and the next build will allow flash so it makes the slow and clumsy skyfire useless.
- Opera Mini is nice but UCWEB while still in Beta works better, has more features and is simply the better choice.
- Skyfire is ok, but way to slow and buggy, its always going to be a beta product

Has anyone tried the new opera mobile 9.7. Does that work with smartphones?
But more specific the Excalibur?

Opera Mobile 9.7 doesn't work with SP, 8.65 is the last version that will work unfortunately.
I do like Opera Mobile but wish they would keep improving the version for SP, they seem to be ignoring us, even if it's just some minor improvements - like hot keys to zoom in and out instead of having to go through a menu.
On a day to day basis I use Opera mini, or if I need access to an Intranet then I use Opera mobile.

Skyfires crashed on me multiple times, opera has done be amazingly well as fasr as browsin as a normal browser and not mobile, but it is good for both. Ive been impressed while using it with social networks.

wow just tried ucweb, while it doesnt display web pages as well as opera mini, the speed is either the same or a bit faster. what impressed by the most is how little it uses ram. only 1 to 2 mb! very impressive. and tabbed windows!

gonna have to try UCWEB!

Best Browser for WM Phones

Hello all,
what is the best browser for windows mobile. Opera its fine but not realy the best ?

in my opinion opera mini 4.2 under jbed and mobile 9.5 for all pages that mini can not display properly.

This should probably be a poll. Unless you have a scientific way of measuring "best", all you will get is a bunch of opinions. And everyone has a favorite browser, so with enough replies you will have all the common browsers represented.
The right answer may be "it depends".
I have PIE, Opera and Skyfire, and they all have their advantages.

NetFront 3.5

X2 on the Netfront 3.5...Tj

Opera Mobile 9.5 for everyday use, Skyfire when Opera 9.5 fails to open something and Opera Mini 4.2 when i want low traffic (when roaming for example).

Opera works best for me

Opera Mobile 9.5
And soon Opera Mobile 10
Coming soon!

Best Browser for X1?

I've used both IE and Opera, and it seems that IE is a lot faster (I always thought opera was supposed to be the fastest).
The browsing speed of my xperia, combined with the horrible keyboard doublepressing letters makes it a useless piece of junk to me for internet uses!
I had a better time using my X1 as a wi-fi router and reading manga on my iPod touch using its opera, it was amazingly fast (pages load within 1 second), however on the X1 itself, it would take FOREVER.

My top 3:
1. Opera
2. Skyfire
3. Internet Explorer.

Opera 10 for me. As a 'bit on the side' I also keep Picsel, it's a convenient browser and all-rounder for opening all sorts. At the time of me getting it a few years back, it was a semi-legal Samsung port that was protected better than White House. I loathe IE and never ever use it.

opera 10 is far better than IE, , much faster too... i wont mind having that IE that's faster than opera

browser
Hi there, I have experimented with many browsers, and the one browser i have found to work the best is Skyfire. I couldn't log into my banking webite due to many javascript and all sorts of funny things, and skyfire was the solution. I also use the others, as I have found that some work better than other. I don't think there is a master solution, but a question of experimenting and finding "horses for courses"... my 2 cents worth ....
Anton

There are many threads like that here. Use search little and you will see.
Also there is no clear solution to this answer. Everyone have different best browser.
For me, that is Opera 10.

I have Opera 10 on my X1 and its not bad, however I was just wondering if anyone has managed to get www.tvcatchup.com working on their phone yet ? The browser keeps telling me that it needs flash so I installed flash light for windows mobile and it still come up with the message that it needs flash..

You won't get full flash on WM. Your best bet is to wait if they release Android 2.2 for X1, but flash would still be super slow and choppy.

My vote goes for Opera Mini (the .cab, not the .jar). MUCH faster than the std. browsers

I know that one.

I am currently using Opera Mobile 9.5 but it sometimes crashes my phone when you first launch it or close the program.
So what is the best lite Internet browser for the X1?

can i get the cab that's free?? i feel opera is better!!!

i am using the one called UC browser , its very good , fast and reduces GPRS traffic , i used to install opera mini with my p1i and p990i before , and it was better than UC and much more effective with the traffic reducing , but with my X1 , the only opera mini wich can be installed is the Opera mini 5 beta , which unfortunately doesnt support Arabic symbols ....
the opera mobile browser ( not mini ) consumes GPRS data like a monster , and is not economic at all

UC Web - Wonderful browser open 10 or more tabs!
UC Web is a wonderful browser I have been using. Both on the PPC and WinMo Standard. Can open lots of tabs (have often opened about 10!) and not restricted to 3, as in Opera 10.
Has proxy based compression to reduce data usage, if needed. Unlike most, have prefered it over Opera, Opera Mini, Teashark, IE, Skyfire etc. Though for some specific uses one may want to use other browsers, UC Web has been my default browser for a long time.
Also very suitable in downloading stuff.

I'm using Opera mini beta 5. It's really thumb friendly, fast and snappy.

My favourite browser for everyday use is opera 10. It's fast, displays most sites correctly and I like it's user interface.
For all sort of flash based sites I use Skyfire but I cannot use it as my standard browser because of the lack of tabbed browsing and the chessboard issue.
My default browser is Internet Explorer since I frequently use programs that rely on the default browser and I experienced some problems when I changed the default browser to Opera.

In china we use UCweb

Opera mini 5 is the fastest one then opera mobile or IE.
