Web Browsing - Not impressed

[geejayb]

Hi,

I was recently given an HTC TP2 (VodafoneUK) by my employer and I dont know whether my expectations were unrealistic or not but some aspects of this device leave me somewhat bemused.
As a standalone device e.g apps, games its very good albeit I think a little slow.
It the web experience I am totally underwhelmed by.
I mostly use Pre-n Wi-Fi in conjunction with 20MB cable internet so was expecting pretty good responses. Things like youtube, facebook etc work pretty well as does mplayer/iplayer, ftp client and file downloads. However browsing is a nightmare. I have tried a number of browsers; The built-in opera 9.5, Oper mini5b, Opera 9.7b, skyfire and IE, all of which are dreadful, othe than in reduced mobile view. I really dont understand why this should be the case. Is there a lot of processing going to render web pages to the smaller screen or something?
Any advice to improve this aspect of the device would be very much appreciated

thx
