PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless "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. "

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.....

Or maybe he goes to Javascript-heavier sites than you do?

It may be unstable on heavy websites, not just javascript-heavy but the recent 2.2 update greatly improves its stability. No longer chokes on the sites that used to upset it sometimes on 2.1.

Same here, I've only experience a few crashes in the past few months (once or twice a month is OK with me). If it did crash daily though I would be very pissed. But contrary to those cool, popular Apple-bashers, for the majority of people, it rarely crashes. I used to use IE7 on Vista and it crashed nearly daily. That is on the world's most popular browser..
