Blackberrys inbuilt browser isn't great. Try downloading opera.

Tbh it was try to move a tiny arrow around that did me in.oh and trying relentlessly to push the screen to open it ala iPhone. Really like the phone but I am buying mainly for www so its gotta be useable.

Tedious and slow. BE is really awkward on it.

BTW I find the sound reproduction on it terrible, I'm assuming that it's my electronic ear but is it the BB?

Yes, even BE's mobile site is slow on my BB. If browsing is that important to the OP, they might want to think about another smart phone.

As for sound quality, for calls mine is ok, but I've never used it for playing mp3's so I don't know if it's any good or not.

For calls mine is better than the land line, but the MP3 doodah sounds very tinny.

Love my BB for texting and emailing, but internet browsing is crap! It's very slow and the screen is too small. Am looking forward to upgrading to a Iphone in the near future.

I struggle with browsing on my BB too. Tiny screen, difficult to navigate and seems slow. It's even worse now I have an iPod touch and have got use to that.

The downside of the iphone is that it really is rubbish for anything that requires typing when compared to the bb.

the iPad is basically a big iPod touch which albeit I think the touch is great as a pick up and go browser isn't great as your only www source. The iPad nor any iPod doesn't show flash media therefore a lot of the www eg BBC. Site video links cannot open. Also the memory is small compares to a pc. If you wanted small you'd be better off with a 10". Netbook which IMHO. Ofer more for a lot less. The iPad is a great gadget I want one but not sure what i'd useit for as o have an iPod. Touch and soon an iPhone.btw reply written on iPod touch

I have use the bb for a couple of years and found surfing a nightmare and only really used it for emails. Now got an iPhone and would never go back. Touch screen qwerty keypad is great and surfing is a breeze. Only issue is lack of flash player for some websites
