Spot the Idiot(s): BlackBerry Bold vs. iPhone Web Browser Showdown

by moose

Here’s a killer comparative test: BBB vs iPhone in WiFi web browsing test

At one point the guy doing the video commentary says that the BBB’s browser is better at telling you what it is doing, downloading script, image, percentage of the page loaded… Yes, they HAD to put these sorts of indications in, so that users wouldn’t think the page was stuck (I know, we had to do that on a Java Applet a few years ago on one of the projects I worked for).

And I just love the comment by Gizmodo writer:

The Bold’s got some fairly heavy duty hardware though, so an update from RIM should be able to give the browser a much-needed jolt.

Yeah, of course, it SHOULD but then, there’s loads of DMP out there that have better hardware specs and should have killed the iPod a long time ago.
