"Before 2007, using the internet on your phone would make you want to kill yourself, if you were dumb enough to believe the crap splattered across that tiny screen even was the "internet." But the combination of increased bandwidth and better mobile software means that more phones really are promising to deliver the real internet, in living color. We tested eight different browsers, and while some put smiles on our faces, others proved that rendering HTML correctly is a far cry from actually giving you an awesome web experience. And what about 3G vs. Wi-Fi? Everything the carriers have told you is a lie. This is the true state of mobile web."

I have no complaints about speed, but it does suck because it keeps crashing. I have to restart the iPhone two or three times a day to make Safari usable.
An Apple rep (as well as many fanboys) recommended turning off Javascript!! It's already missing flash and Java, why don't they just port Links to iPhone and have it all plain text then?!

I don't have such experience with my iPhone, it crashed i think two or three times since i bought it (3 months ago) and that's it, no way that it has the behavior that you are describing, I suspect that you are over exaggerating.....

Because people want it to work like on their desktop system. And they run it off their standards of that not comparing what the others have to offer. Also if they did purchase an other phone they will cling onto what features are better then the iPhone so they don't feel like they mad a bad purchasing decision.

Why do I hear so many people bitching about how the iPhone's web browser "sucks" and is "slow" etc. if it's the best on the market according to this? Sure, it's not perfect and I would be happier if Apple allowed competition on the app store but still, stop bitching, people who bitch on other articles.
