(And a WAP browswer) But you can also download and use Opera if you prefer. (I do) There is no reason to think they have abandonded any of this..

But you can also download and use Opera if you prefer. (I do)

There is no reason to think they have abandonded any of this..

I will add in any additional reviews of the browser -- it's just that so far I have been unable to find any. The first review out of the gate was Crackberry and their review proclaimed the browser largely unchanged. Then Engadget posted some pictures from what appeared to be some sort of media event -- none of which seemed to spotlight the browser. Gizmodo followed a few hours later (after I'd gone to bed) with a video that also skipped over giving an in depth review of the browser (though they did give a quick shot of it displaying Gizmodo). Crunchgear this morning has a bunch of pictures but I couldn't make out any browser shots. I'm very interested in posting up anything that contradicts my theory that the browser could be sub-par.

They have pictures of the HTML browser and it looks pretty good rendering the site. Hey Wayne, you should check out phonescoop.

Let's keep the misinformation to a minimum out there. Well, they’re looking at Engadget’s mobile optimized site (http://m.engadget.com), which is NOT the same as looking at http://www.engadget.com.

Maybe they should get on the phone to Firefox mobile or Opera and start talking licensing. Yikes…that’s not good.
