What do you think the S60 browser would look like on an S60 device with a touch screen?

Aside from tabbed browsing (which the 3rd Edition browser is capable of doing with a quick text file and natively managed by pressing the 5 key), I still find the S60 browser to be the best in terms of functionality. The iPhone may be great for viewing web pages, but if you want to do anything with the content on those pages, you’re SOL and JWF.

When I had the N95-4, N810, and iPhone sitting on my desk, I preferred the N95-4 for browsing first for the T9 and the speed, the N810 second for the huge screen and extra functionality, and the iPhone last because finger flicking is a poor (though fun) solution for scrolling.

Very odd. The browser did recently get some Flash Lite 3 love though that is still making it’s way through some existing devices.

I remember last year I met with someone at a firm hired by Nokia who asked me a whole bunch of questions about mobile browsing. They wrapped up the meeting by showing me some very cool looking (seemingly) Flash-based stuff. Maybe we’ll see a browser replacement next year…

well, to be honest, i _hope_ they let i die. this thing is soo far behind a decent with regard to speed and user experience that it would be lost time and money to further invest. nokia must bring something that can at least match the iphone browsing experience, and thats why the probably concentrate on a new browser on the coming S60 Touch devices.. (at least, i hope so..)

And that’s precisely why I switched to the iPhone a few weeks ago. I’ve been waiting for some of these basic features since June 2006.

Sad, but I do think it’s the end of the road for higher-end Nokia devices as a serious platform.

Funny. I was using it on an N82 this morning and thinking ‘ this thing is falling behind.’
I’m pretty much an Opera Mini guy on the N82 now.

Daily news of Gadget, Computer, Electronic and technologywrote an interesting post today on Hereâ€™s a quick excerpt I just caught a post in my reader, which is a bit alarming and rather disappointing if true. There has not been a checkin to the S60 port in over 8 monthsâ€¦ As far as I can tell, the port is
