Posted by RK in this thread: “I didn’t expect the web browser to be this good, it’s really spectacular (for a mobile device) it renders web pages very well to fit the small screen, and it’s great for basic web browsing. But it tends to slow down on sites like digg, where there a lot of code to process. But it’s not at all bad because many of these resource intensive sites like digg and engadget have mobile version that are very lightweight and are designed to work on phones, there is even a mobile version of google maps that works completly lag free on the 605.”
