Alternative Mobile Browsers Tested For Speed, Usability, JavaScript Rendering

Posted by timothy on from the but-can-it-run-slashdot dept.

CNETNate writes "Do Opera Mobile, Skyfire, or Mozilla's Fennec have the power to take down the BlackBerry browser, IE on Windows Mobile, or Safari on the iPhone? This lengthy test aimed to find out. Speed, Acid3 compliance, JavaScript rendering capabilities, and general subjective usability were all tested and reviewed. So were Opera Mini and the default Symbian browser, but these two were unable to complete some of the tests and benchmarks."

    We've distilled each browser's strengths, but note you can't get all of these on the same phone -- if you've got a BlackBerry, you're stuck with its browser...

    You are most certainly not. I typically have Opera up and running before I configure my email on a new BlackBerry.
