Any feedback on browsers that work well on the 3650??

I've been using Opera, but I'm ready to chunk it because it hogs the memory and I have to reboot the phone constantly to either free up memory so it can load or after using it!

I've read good reviews on Netfront. Also, heard good things about Doris & Webviewer.

Thanks for the help.

I used Opera and Netfront. Decided to go with Netfront because it works with network connections over Bluetooth, while Opera always start the GPRS connection - even when the mobile phone is connected.

It's really serious fun to browse from the phone at cable or ADSL speeds.

Great feedback on key functionality. I've read this in articles, but never could find any feedback from actual users.

Also, I think Netfront has a pretty big footprint like Opera on the 3650. Do you have any of the memory issues like experienced with Opera?

Thanks!

It happened with other applications too, but more with Opera: when trying to start it the mobile phone crashed and I had to restart it. Happened quite frequently. The application was installed on the MMC, not main memory. It didn't happen with Netfront (that I can remember now).

Used my site discount and purchased Netfront. It was a pleasure to uninstall Opera. Not only is Opera a memory hog, but a messy install. Thank goodness for PC File Manager. There were files all over the place.

I'll let you know how it goes.
