I agree, great review! A lot of other reviews seem to give lipservice if any mention at all about the browser. What good is an internet enabled phone without a decent browser?
It looks like RIM has been resting on its figurative laurels, collecting profit this whole time and hasn't learned anything about how important a webkit or even somewhat decent in-house browser is for selling a phone. That kind of performance and incompatibility was sub par and unacceptable at best. Almost makes you wonder whether they actually had anyone test it, considering how common engadget is.
