Re: How's the browser?

- when I click a link and it doesn't recognize it, it does a random page down, making it extremely annoying to find your spot again

- the zoom slider is a must, but unfortunately, only the STOCK version of Opera works with it - Skyfire, IE, and Opera beta does not work with it

- double-tapping works inconsistently (as does the slider) - sometimes it simply does not register

- filling in text fields is frustrating - I click the spot, and it doesn't recognize it... I find touching links basically unusuable unless I slide out the keyboard and navigate using the cursor and enter key

...

thought I'd give a balanced perspective since this thread was full of positive comments. The above points make browsing EXTREMELY annoying.
Thanks for the perspective. I know its unfair to always compare phones to the Iphone but I feel like a new standard has been set for touch screen phones when it comes to web browsing. I'm glad I found out that the TP2 doesn't rise to the standard at least not yet.
