I'm looking forward to a better browser with OS 6 thats for sure. Because I am spending more and more time on the web with my BB and currently I am pretty much limited to mobile sites. The bigger screen and 5mp camera will be great for work as well since I take and send a lot of pictures. |
If your BB can do it, get opera. I use the default browser a lot, but when I need a full page, my Opera is set to load non-mobile versions of everything. I got myself a Storm 2 in December, and it's been a double edged sword.
1. I'm one of the rare "likes the surepress" crew.
2. Email. Quickest, easiest, least battery demanding. Even if I make a switch, that I will miss.
3. BBM. It definitely has its use, and it is indeed quick. My phone is good, but if someone's on a provider with dodgy texting (such as my texting was with a certain carrier to be named after the following semi-colon; Bell)
4. Reliability. While people curse the Storm (1 and 2) for freezing, etc., I've had no problems, neither does a friend who has the 2 as well. I've heard others refer to it as the "Ice-Storm", so...yeah. Be careful I guess.
Downfalls:
So I have a device that's what, under a year old? But they couldn't get the new OS on it? Oi. Disappointing.
As such, I will not get the new quick browser. As a popular video (it's in this thread I think) showed, even the new torch WITH said new browser is slower than the iPhone and Android one. While it's not MUCH slower, mine is a good bit slower itself. Gotta like the compression of data though, so you don't have to get as heavy a plan.
Media Player. Is there some sort of aftermarket one that can allow the seams in tracks to flow better? Listening to Dark Side of the Moon or track 9 onwards from Abbey Road, the break is disruptive.
So really, to me, the Torch is my phone with a physical keyboard, likely some better hardware, and a new OS, that apparently isn't too gigantic improvement from the old one.
