I'm thinking of returning to the BB. I love my iphone, but I really do miss some of the BB features [damn BB!]. I have to admit that the iphone browser will be the toughest thing to give up. If RIM had such a browser, this would be a no brain-er, as it is, I'll have to give it some more thought and decide.

Everything has its pros and cons.
If its about the browser, then I would go with iphone.

The browser in 4.5 is better. It's still not quite as good as Safari IMO but better.

"The force is strong."

Hey, they're both phones for heaven's sake! Maybe you need to add a few new activities in your life. When's the last time you had a date?

Just kidding around and giving you a hard time.

I've heard it mentioned a few times that the 4.5 browser is better. Can anyone elaborate on HOW it is better?

It's not that much better. You get a cursor to drag around and you can have a full webpage view and then the normal view. The 4.6 browser is said to be quite an improvement, though.

I have been puzzled by this as well. If I go into Browser>General Properties>Default View and change it from mobile to Desktop then I get a regular cursor and full page views (Of course it doesn't auto-size the screen).

Never use it as I find it to hard to navigate.

I agree with this, and I also have the same options under my OS. Then again, it probably is updated in some regard in 4.5. I just prefer scrolling with the trackball since it's much easier for me to use.
