    Yahoo! Wants to Whack Google in Mobile Searching

    I tried their new search http://mobile.yahoo.com/search and it asploded my Samsung A500. The first time I loaded the page, the web browser closed. The second time, the phone rebooted! I have reset my phone several times, same results.

    Then I read the page in a real browser, and they SMS you a link. That link worked in my phone.
