I Don't Hate iPhone, I'm Just Pro-Touch Pro 2! - Page 2

ppcgpirate · #11 (**permalink**) 12-27-2009, 03:49 AM

I've used both the HTC Pro 2 and the iphone and one thing the TP2 can't compete with is how smooth the web browsing is. The page loads up and never needs to load anything else on the page again unlike the TP2 where if you scroll down you'll hit the white/gray check box loading pattern. also the i've had to hit next or any of the links multiple times to get them to register on the TP2.

Is there a fix for that? the tp2 seems to do that with opera stock and opera 10 beta 2.

I really wish Microsoft would scrap IE, not just the pocket version, and start over from scratch.

IE should get the Rebel Internet Browser award for not following basic W3C standards.

Apple has it right for the most part, Safari is one badass browser, second to Firefox. Next down the list is Opera then every other browser in existence, then dirt, then clay, then hell, then IE.

I'll probably never get an iphone but I'd kill for mobile Safari on our devices...

I'm also a iphone hater but after seeing this video of the iphone running the Unreal Engine 3 make me think twice

FYI the Unreal Engine 3 is responsible for Gears of War 1,2
Bioshock etc.

LOL. By now we should all know not to trust youtube videos.
Not saying it isn't true, but you never know.
It could run on WM when we get the snapdragon as a standard.
Then it's just a graphics situation.

gotta love these intelligent posts.... (btw, it would be the same with any phone name inserted above).

The funny thing is that people rant and rave over how great their phone is over another (mostly the iphone) and then they go out 6 months later complaining to Sprint (or VZN) how crappy their phone is in order to get a free upgrade... I guess it depends on who your audience is. LOL.

Very well said...Bravo!
