- rospaya 16y agoAlmost any phone can browse the web today.
- tdoggette 16y agoYeah, but not in a way that approaches the usefulness of a desktop browser.
- bergie 16y agoYep, Nokia N900 is the only phone accomplishing that :-) For example, Android and iOS browsers skipped the rather useful contentEditable functionality. On my N900 I have it.
- Tichy 16y agowhat does it do? Edit: OK, not that I know what it does, what do you use it for on your N900?
- ugh 16y agohttp://html5demos.com/contenteditable http://html5demos.com/contenteditable Suffice it to say, this is not the reason why smartphones are so much better at browsing the web than feature phones.
- huertanix 16y agoThe N900 also has the only implementation of Firefox Mobile. Adblock Plus is in my pocket.
- jokermatt999 16y agoActually, it's on Android as well. I haven't tried it for a few versions (it...needed some work then), but it is available.
- rospaya 16y agoInstall Opera Mini.
- rimantas 16y agoThere are many things you can do on the phone. Not that many you want to do, given the experience.
- ugh 16y agoIf browsing the web on the phone is as easy as on iOS or Android it’s not a dumb phone, it’s a smart phone.
- huertanix 16y agoIts a better experience on some phones than others; "Surfing the web" in Blackberry's browser is closer to "drowning the web" and rendering nothing correctly.
- daliusd 16y agoYou can do that with old phones that have WAP browsers. OK. Someone needs to write WAP proxy for HN :)
- ladon86 16y agoThat's what I do every time I'm on a bus :)
- huertanix 16y agoI do the same on the Phoenix light rail; This site's layout performs really well on mobile devices; Loading a beast like Digg on my N900 would make me twitch for kill -9.
