Yeah, Internet Explorer on my WM6 phone isn't that great. I've tried
Opera Mobile too and it's so-so. But having the web on your phone can
be extremely handy, even with a crappy browser! It's kind of like how
cell phones used to be - twenty years ago no one needed them, now they
are indispensable. I think the same will happen with web access on
your phone but a lot sooner.
