Thread: Browser speed?

I was just wondering which hybrid has the faster browser. BBC V& vs Lyricidals Beta 5v6?

BBC v7 hybrid has the fastest browser that I've seen so far.

Will I still have a lot of MB if I don't shrink the OS from BBC?

Man I wish I could get by with only 3 apps installled lol

Use some of that 51MB on some cool apps truth!:haha: What good is app memory if ya don't use it. Haha just messin with you.

I"m trying Lyricidal's hybrid right now and the transitions between screen is so much more noticeable with his hybrid then with BBC but the browser seems so much slower. Are the transitions in BBC hybrid really clear? Maybe I downloaded it wrong.

I spend the majority of my time using pandora. My fav app of all time. I forgot to mention that I also have one of your themes installed.

The only way to tell is by testing it quantitatevely. There is an app that checks the speed of the internet so the only way to tell is check the download speed of BBC's versus Lyrics. Then you will have your answer.

The fastest is Opera Mini

that's because it cheats by compressing the web page a 100 times But I agree Opera is speedy.

I love Opera it's my browser of choice. I would prefer to see Skyfire or something more advanced sans Safari or the Webkit Palm uses. But RIM's broswer is like using one of those old ham radios lol

I wish that the BB browser had the ability to have multiple windows open like the G1 browser.
