Interesting. I wonder if the TP2 will be able to handle Iris. I guess the point that I'm making is that it kindof stinks that despite WebOS browsers being out for 2 years, Microsoft or HTC have not been able to offer a comparable browsing experience.

It still sounds like the TP2 suffers from the problems of past Windows mobile phones. Browser sluggishness and unresponsiveness as evidenced by the stories on this thread.
