BlackBerry Storm, iPhone 3G and T-Mobile G1 increase mobile web browsing

By: Daniel Chubb | December 22, 2008 | 1 Comment

Things are in a downward trend when it comes to the economy but when it comes to web browsing on the move things are in massive growth, the uptake of mobile browsing has been helped by many of the high end phones.

Phones like the BlackBerry Storm, iPhone 3G and T-Mobile G1 have helped increase mobile web browsing in massive leaps and today more people keep connected to online content while on the move than ever before.

It’s not just those most popular cell phones that are helping people browse the web while mobile, they do not use the Opera Mini browser and Opera are reporting a 94% increase in page impressions in the UK. November 2008 saw Opera Mini generate more than 83 million MB of data transfer. If this was uncompressed data it would of been more like 746 million MB.

    I am a software engineer and had a comparison between the iphone and blackberry storm. This is what I found out.

    1. The page load on web browsing for the iphone is much faster than the “verizon’s blackberry storm”

    2. Blackberry’s regular browser has limited capabilities (and terrible). Download opera and you cannot type numbers on the address bar – it’s a bug they have and converts to alphabets. (MAJOR GLITCH)

    3. It’s much harder to type on blackberry’s PRESSURE sensitive keyboard compared to iphone’s (is it heat sensitive ?) keyboard.

    4. Single touch button for “zoom in” or “zoom out” for blackberry. It cannot handle 2 finger sensitiveness for zooming like on iphone. (blackberry’s touch screen is a cheap pressure touch sensitive device – what else can you expect ?)

    This is what I found in less than 10 minutes. With all the commercial verizon is making and the hype – blackberry is a HUGE dissapointment. It truly belongs in a different generation like 5 years behind the iphone. Haven’t they learned anything from apple’s iphone ? It was released 2 years before they came out with their device.
