For all the BlackBerry fanboys, even with image compression (which means it's not even loading as much data compared to the competitors), its own in-house browser is still far slower than the WebOS browser, let alone being compared to the iPhone browser, neither of which needs to compress their images.

Get it running Web-Kit and then we'll think about talking....]]>Aug 19th 2009 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/
The BlackBerry Browser sucks. PERIOD. We shouldn't have to look for 3rd party browsers to fix the problems with the browser rendering abilities and to improve its speed. It all should have been there already, especially in the first place of the newest devices, Bold, Onyx, Tour, Storm 2. All of those newest devices still got the same crappy browser that can't even be compared to the Android browser.]]>Aug 19th 2009 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/
bro, your second comment's first line doesn't even make sense.
we don't need to, but we have the option for that speed if we want it. i love opera, thanks for asking. its the app i use the most. better than your ifart.]]>Aug 19th 2009 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/come on, he's just comparing it with Android. why u have to come up with that stuff?
irrelevant.

btw, admit it already, Blackberry browser sucks.]]>Aug 19th 2009 2:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/Aug 19th 2009 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/
I completely agree. Blackberry OS doesn't even have native graphics acceleration for the user interface, which is a requirement for smooth webpage rendering/zooming/panning, not to mention the CPUs are too slow as well. They should work on making the browser engine better, or better yet just adopt Webkit and stick some decent Cortex-A8 processors in their new models.]]>Aug 20th 2009 2:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/Aug 20th 2009 6:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/
The downside is though... I love RIM but their development can be so slow. Like a proper Skype client was promised months ago sofar nothing same for Flash/Silverlight it should have been done ages ago. But then.. atleast we get it without some nonsense reaction that it's a bag of hurt.]]>Aug 20th 2009 9:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/
you're right, the bb browser is not the best, but the point is we have options of installing other browsers instead of just having to settle. i mean, isn't that the point of todays' smartphones? to have options? to be able to install/customize to get the most out of it? this whole time that's what i thought, silly me.]]>Aug 20th 2009 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/Aug 19th 2009 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/Aug 19th 2009 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/Aug 19th 2009 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/Aug 19th 2009 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/Aug 19th 2009 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/

Perhaps you wouldn't be such a prick if...

...

Nah, you're always going to be a complete prick I'm afraid.

Anyway, I agree with Adam. Smartphone fashions change and putting all your eggs in one form factor basket is a risky move.

RIM phones are nice. I had a shot of a friend's 8900 Curve and it's a lovely phone. Unfortunately she wouldn't let me keep it.]]>Aug 19th 2009 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/blackberry-browser-to-get-full-flash-and-silverlight-support/
I believe your sentence should have been completed as follows, and I would have to completely agree with it.

Now, I'm all for reducing the amount of Flash out there. Too many people turn to it as the easy answer.
