The BB browser IS decent. Consider the following things that haven't been said:
1) The guy in the video uses Shift+m to type the period into the URL instead of the Space key. Obviously, someone who is not familiar with Blackberrys.
2) Everything loads a lot faster in "single-column" mode, which the reviewer is not using. I seriously question the intelligence of people who insist on viewing sites in desktop layout on a two-inch screen. Yes, the iPhone does that and it also sucks.
3) Turn off Javascript support. You rarely ever need it. The browser will be A LOT faster with JS off.
4) I noticed the browser trying to load and run scripts even in the mobile version of Engadget. What kind of DUMB ASS writes client-side scripts into a "mobile" site? Whatever Engadget are paying their Web designers, it's more than they deserve.
