Its normal. Sony PSP started this whole new 3D-gaming on the go. Then Apple joined the team with iPod Touch trying to get developers like Gameloft , etc to come up with cool looking application for Touch and iPhone. It grew so popular that iPhone/iPod Touch turned into a gaming device. Then we do have DS and other stuff

I'll just wait and see , these days a lot of people are entering the market and trying to be the best. I am just hoping for the browser to be good as Safari or better. So far Safari kicks just about any other browser out there for mobile phones and PDAs

At least it won't crash 666 times a day like that wretched SOB Safari does.
Most people think Safari is impressive but Opera Mobile on a proper RAM-laden system beats it to pulp with mutlple tabs, flash and NO CRASHES at all.

Disagree ,it doesn't crash 666 times a day. It may crash once in a while but other then that its okay


anyhow , Opera Mobile isn't that impressive. I've it in my WM device. It hogs soo much of RAM that the entire system comes to a halt. Sorry to say that. Opera Mobile may have flash and other cool stuff that you don't get with safari however it hogs RAM a lot which does make my system unresponsive at times.

Edit : I forgot this is in a Windows mobile territory. I might get bashed by Windows Mobile supporters. Anyway I am in a neutral point of view

Opera may have its pros but it has its drawbacks. That goes same for Safari too , but I still have to say Safari beats hands down on any other Mobile browser out there (minus the flash part but you could install some flash plug-in hack if you have JB'ed your touch/iPhone)

Edit #2 - I have been using Windows Mobile and palmOS before this. If i were given a choice , I'll say Blazer is one of the best browsers for mobile phones/pda at that upon of time. Its way better then Internet explorer for windows mobile on my treo 270 and 600 !

No pra I'm neutral. In fact I think the iPhone is extremely good on lots of aspects (especially the music player, of which HTC fails to achieve nicely), but browsing is not one of them.
Opera doesn't hog RAM if you use the correct builds. WM6.5 here on a 192MB RAM Diamond, 45% idle startup, 2 tabs of Opera only bumps it to 62%. I can open up to 4 without any nuclear meltdown.

If you use only 2 tabs (which is all people need for info lookup/reference/easy C-P) I'd have to argue that Opera leads the way.

I assume your WM phone has 128/64MB of RAM. In that case, sorry, you're rather SOL (192/256 gives a radically better experience in not just Opera but a heck lot more apps too) laugh.gif

My rather short experience with the iPhone with Safari has been pretty bad. DeviantART, Ars Technica, and I think either Tech Report or Slashdot crashed on me. Can't blame it too much though, AFAIK the 128MB RAM still shows its limits in the end. Especially with the extra needed animations  tongue.gif

Maybe you're right with WM 6.5 . I have not tested Opera on WM 6.5 , so I can't comment the performance on it. It may have changed. However with 6.1 , I had a horrible experience with it.

I guess we do have we do have our own tastes and preferences. I'll give WM 6.5 a shot on my old device (hopefully its flash able and it runs). I'll let you know if its faster then WM 6.1. Since you're running WM 6.5 and not to mention I've been hearing lots of good things bout WM 6.5 . I guess I'll give it a shot if it runs faster then WM 6.1 (and hopefully it does !)
