You know when i was using my dash opera mini was the bomb but now that i have g1 and i'm in 3g area it makes opera look slow lol.
Installed yesterday but still like the G1 browser better.
Thread closed.....next time you open a thread for a simliar topic that is 2 maybe 3 under yours.

I'm coming back home...
Tomorrow my AT&T Tilt comes in the mail. I had jumped ship for a little while to try out the Iphone for a little while. As I already knew/expected/predicted, it sucked. I finally got someone to trade my unlocked Iphone for a brand new in the box Tilt. I'm so glad to be back in the hackable/crackable world of HTC and Windows Mobile.
However, I got used to the great browsing experience with mobile safari. Are there any full browsers for windows mobile? I'm looking for a browser that can view full pages and supports javascript and ajax. It would also be great if it came in the neighborhood of... FREE!
Please feel free to flame me for jumping ship. Blame it on the 620mhz arm. I had to experience it.
Opera mini based on Java comes close. I do not recall if it is free but it does show whole pages and you can expand specific spots by a simple touch with finger or stylus. It is also totally scrollable (I use finger nails).
Opera mini is good and is free, I've been using one called NetFront Browser that is really decent too. It's apparently in beta now, don't know if it'll still be free when it goes to release.

I won't be - it'll cost $30.
In general, I recommend Opera Mini the most, particularly with my additional hacks & tweaks. Read my related articles.
anybody seen this?
sounds promising

There doesn't seem to be a trial period for this so difficult to try out/test without actually purchasing the app...demo video looks interesting though...

I dont like it its nothing Special:
And you dont even no if flash/scripiting is fully aviable...
just wait for skyfire/opera

opera mini is better!
the browser does look ok but opera IMO is smooth.

i agree, i'd prefer to donate once it's been tried
it doesn't even allow you to use a trial version first. If its that good i doubt it'll go for only 14 dollars.
Yeah, well, I bit the bullet and bought this. At least on my Tytn II with original HTC ROM, this software is a dog. Runs way too slow to even be remotely usable. I sent an email to them asking for a fix, or a refund.
have Opera Mobile 9.5 ;D it runs great and is the same like these ****
I dl'd Opera 8.65 and it runs the same as this program...is there something I'm missing?
I emailed them asking about a trial version and they responded that one should be available next week.
Guys, this is merely a touch UI for PIE.
Have upload opera 9,5 (its a beta version but runs great)
http://xirror.com/spread/42241753/Opera_Mobile_9.5.cab.html
guys a rather limited demo version is available from the site, they have also added a note to say that touchflo may slow down the operation of the browswer anyone have a cab to enable/disable touchflo easily ive tried searching the forums but to no avail
If you want a _really_ good browser, I suggest you to try Netfront.
It's the best browser for Windows Mobile.

has some problems working with the touch interface since its java derived now, its just the opera mini

Opera Mini is really bad... Opera Mobile was pretty good (on Windows Mobile atleast).

I have to disagree. I found using ie explorer on my mda vario and even other windows mobile devices painfully slow. Once i tried opera mini i never went back. Web browsing on my mda vario with opera mini is still faster than the g1 with googles browser.
Dont get me wrong i love googles browser and the browsing is no where near as slow as what my vario was. But when opera mini comes out, if it works ill be using it.
The only downside to using opera mini i found was somewhat buggy downloads on occasions and not being able to copy links. Also on forums where you click images to enlarge didnt work.
Opera mini might even save you on battery since it reduces how much you have to download.
Its in the market now, opera 4.2 beta! Still it isnt as good as 3g internet of g1.
Stock browser much better
why even release something that isn't as good as the browser that comes with the phone?
I had a samsung instinct (sprint) and the stock browser was so bad (along with every other feature of the phone, except voice searching... still waiting google!!!) that this opera mini would have made the instinct feel like you've switched from a 56k modem to cable.
for the G1 on the other hand, this app is about as useful as 2 @$$holes (I guess 2 would be very useful if you were a porn star ). Still no imbedded flash and slower than stock, what was the point opera? Embarresment? Is the full version going to be that much better? I mean compared to beta, can't be much worst.
I'm sure the newer pda/smartphone/ppc users will revel in a commercial company converting a dumbphone program for the G1 (which shouldn't be dumbphone program compatible!!), but if you've been around the block with these gadgets (I've been around since original tungstens) then you'll understand why I am ranting about the flood of useless apps.
i couldnt agree more santos alot of the market apps are pointless makes g1 and android which is so great look bad
opera mini is aimed at people with limited download allowance, or who dont have 3g. i wouldnt use it because 3g in my area is great and i have a 10gb allowance. so might as well use it.
i think the browser speed of the G1 is phenominal, its just a shame its not as smooth as on my iphone 3g - certainly i find it a lot less convenient for quickly googling things. im hoping the Cupcake update will see me move away from the iPhone entirely but i feel im drifting off topic a little here...
anyway - for those that need it Opera Mini is the app they dream of; for those that dont it is a pointless application.
And to those who install it to save their batteries, well maybe you should think about whether this device is really for you.

You said it all in one question. I agree.
I have an AT&T Tilt, and I am so unsatisfied with IE. I am seeking suggestions on a new browser.
I would really like something that will allow tabbed browser windows, if possible.
Any and all suggestions are appreciated, but know that I am kinda retarded as far as computer speak is concerned
Thanks!
I hear that opera is meant to be good... im pretty sure that htc switched over to it on the newer phones... i havent tried it yet myself, but anythings better than PIE...
yeah diamond and newer comes with opera mobile 9.X
which support javascripts, ajax and tabs
give skyfire a look too
opera mobile NSFAN's build
ok, i didnt have time to do a search, but i found this thread so may i have a uestion.
I saw some videos on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpRF_OVHfvA, and my qouestion is is it possible that the kaiser i so fast?because whne i bought my diamond i bought it because it has much better hardwer than the tytn II, but now i saw hyperdragons and others rom and i amazed...shocked.
what do you think with all this tweaks, how much will be different the kaiser from the diamond in speed/usage etc...will it be more slower or i wont feel the hardware differenc?
I think it is awesone that it looks like the tf3d/i read?that is included/ nice job realy.
of, do not forget that i don play games on diamond, so i think i wont play on tytn Ii if i buy it...
I use diamond with aFast diamond rom...So if anyone have/had this 2 devices can he send me a pm or post here a message!
why dont you use PIE PLUS it adds a bunch of stuff to PIE including tabs i like it and its free
In my opinion PIE is horrible. Besides the word "funderful" (long story), there is nothing I hate more than Pocket IE. There are a TON of free alternatives you should try. I currently have all of these on my device, and most are capable of true desktop browsing.
Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta NSFan's build (this build supports ~10 tabs and is fast)
Bolt (still in beta, released very recently, pretty damn fast, and you need a Java program, like the one that comes on the Tilt)
Iris (Like NSFan's build of Opera it supports tabs. It's still in beta, pretty good, based on the WebKit rendering engine like Android's browser and Safari Mobile)
Skyfire (true Flash 10 and Silverlight 2 support, need I say more?)
Opera Mini (kinda like PIE, except it doesn't suck and it goes fast, and you need a Java program)
All of these browsers are quite capable of a pleasant browsing experience, and all should be quite easy to find on google. They're all free too, but Iris and Bolt require registration before you can download (but they both seem like reputable companies).

ucweb does have an english version but it kinda reminded me of the browser that was on my moto about 8 years ago. It is really fast but is poorly created. I do not think it supports flash, at least I don't remember. Here is a cab if anyone is interested
hey guys!
i finally retired the tmobile dash and got a g1 and im driving my self insane with the speed of the g1 browser. its sooooooooo slow. i used opera mini on the dash and pages loaded instantly almost. so i went to the marketplace and got opera for g1 and thats pretty slow too. anyone have any ideas how to speed the browser up? i only have edge i dont have 3g in my area.
you could try using the steel browser but its probrably just slow because you're using edge
