Nice review, thanks for that. Question for ya about netfront. Do you get the out of memory errors? Im getting that after about 5 web pages or so. With my mogul, i could understand that, 18mb of free ram. But with my touch pro, im getting the same errors with 145mb free ram (well 132mb if netfront is running. I like netfront, and i would like to use it more. Any tips to help stop the errors? Thanks,

I've pretty much had the exact same experience as you. On the mogul, I couldn't go to sites like Reddit with netfront because I would get out of memory errors... which makes sense on the mogul, like you said.

On the Touch Pro, I've only seen the error pop up two or three times, but it is a little puzzling to see it at all, right? I forget which sites prompted the error, but if I see them again, I'll be sure to post them here. They happen so infrequently that I just put up with them, but yeah, I'd like to not see them at all...

I appreciate the reponse. I know i got the errors on ign/xbox360 and cnet. I guess those are pretty heavy sites, but still disappointing. One more quick question about those errors, what do ya do when you get one? Close the browser and start again, or just keep pushing on? I honestly uninstalled it after a day, cause i figured i must have done something wrong. Ill give it another go.

Usually when a site doesn't load correctly in Netfront or if I get the error, I give it a go in Opera Mobile. If that doesn't work, I just give up on that site. It's rare that a site won't be navigable in either one or the other, so they are pretty good at complementing each other.

By the way, have you seen this video?

The official promotional video for the new Toshiba Snapdragon device. I mention the video because they show a new version of PIE - and it looks incredible. It looks even better than the version we've seen in some Treo Pro videos.... I can't wait for THAT browser.

Wow, thats looking nice. I read yesterday that Htc will be throwing in with snapdragon, and have a device with it, released this coming fall. As much as i dislike pie, when all others fail, i always go back to it. Pieplus gives it a little more functionality also. It's nice to have a choice at least - pie, opera mini, opera mobile, netfront, skyfire, iris, ucweb, bolt, picsel, and hopefully fennec today
