I've tried JD's latest Mogul ROM and Sprint's stock 6.1 ROM and both result in the same - pages on zoom mode look like trash. Engadget doesn't even bother loading images and forget about reading articles... what good is a browser that doesn't have a full zoom mode? Am I missing some magic setting that fixes all of this? I'd rather be stuck with the slowness of PIE than the "where the hell did it go" placement of things in this browser...

Its nowhere *NEAR* Opera Mini for me, which makes me wonder what sites people are visiting, what sites they are using, what ROMs, etc., because I was appalled and felt offended for Opera Mini for even being compared on the same level in any form. Hell, I can't even get on Myspace with this browser.

Someone, please, give me some insight. I had a coworker try this browser on my phone and he had the same complaints. I don't think its my phone - its a brand new Mogul - and its run two completely different ROMs. I'll flash no2chem's pre3-3 and report back what I find but I imagine it will be much the same.

In the end, just seems like a browser that's faster than Mini, slower than Skyfire, that is only faster than Mini because it doesn't render properly, and is slower than Skyfire because Skyfire's servers are in the US.
Greetings. I admit ucweb isn't as pretty or polished as opera mini, but for "my" mobile browsing needs, ucweb is better. I like the fact copy and paste is enabled, i can have multiple windows open, and i'm able to upload attachments within forums. I pretty much stick to the same websites while on my mogul, and every one i go to with opera mini, ucweb works just as well. Like alot of things, it may just come down to personal preference. And for me, i can give up some eye candy ( opera mini) for the functions ucweb offers. Opera mini's feelings shouldn't be hurt, 'cause i'll always have room for it on my storage card Oh yeah, i'm running sprints official 3.35 rom. dschoenike
