Hi, Welcome to the Forums.

It "is" the actual internet. Many webpages, you will find, are best viewed from a mobile version of the website if available. But otherwise, you can view the actual webpages. Because of the size of the screen, it very often does not render the same as a full size screen, and there is likely the difference you will find with this and the iPhone.

Yes it is the internet. The downside with the bb broswer is that it may not handle websites that are heavy with java.
