My mates got one, all good except you can't bluetooth or video stuff. Might not be an issue for most people but I use these things a lot.

the nice thing about browsing with the crackberry is the qwerty keyboard

The Iphone is great for browsing, I'll wager not many phones can come close to it in that respect. They've improved the stability now as well so it doesn't crash like it occassionally used to do.

iPhone still the standard to beat really for web browsing. Only fault being the lack of physical keyboard making web forums a bit of a pain and definitely slower than crackberries etc.

If it's more browsing than posting, then the iPhone is a good bet.

Omnia then, but pretty much every modern phone can surf the web to a decent extent.

Sorry - didn't see that question!

It's called Glasklart (swedish for 'clear glass' apparently) and it looks fking fantastic. You need Winterboard etc. and it's installable from Cydia. Regularly maintained by the designer too.

Having used quite a few phones for browsing I still think the iPhone is leagues ahead. The multi touch zoom functions are really useful.

I carry a Blackberry Bold (for work) and an iPhone (for private stuff). The Bold is better for making posts because of its real keyboard. The iPhone is better for browsing because it renders pages properly and is more readable, but its on-screen keyboard is terrible for posting on PH.
