Picsel Browser crashes for large Web pages

I am using the Picsel Browser. Love the features although if I am going through Sprintpcs it won't connect unless I load a page using PIE first and then the phone will hang up after a short time and I have to do the whole thing all over. I thought I saw a post about keeping the connection up but can't find it anymore. Anyway the main reason for the post is that the application seems to crash and return to the today screen if I load a large web page. In particular www.cnn.com. It works find for www.yahoo.com or ppcgeeks.com.

Any suggestions

I think it's the javascript... CNN has some really weird Java coding on it that caused my firefox to crash on it until I reinstalled Java.

Anyway, I'd like to know as well... as you can't really use Picsel when it's unstable.

Fun thing to do with it though... I downloaded a 50 Meg starscape jpeg... that is awesome to go through with piscel.

I've noticed this too, but only for digg.com and wikipedia.org

I just use alternatives, like diggriver or wapedia. they work fine. Still kind of inconvenient though. I wonder what other sites crash it.
