Who would have guessed that Microsoft could make a good web browser? Well apparently they did according to people who got their hands on it early like CNET. It is said to be as good as Apple’s Mobile Safari. This is quite a compliment because Mobile Safari is one of the best mobile web browsers out there. One thing possibly worth mentioning is the default search provider is Bing. No word on if its possible to change it, but truly it will be nearly identical results to the other major search engines.
I have mixed feelings about the keyboard though. As you can see on the picture below, the portrait keyboard has a bubble effect when your finger is on a key. Personally I am not into that. Also the keys are not positioned like they are on a keyboard, but instead the rows are all aligned. This might not be a big deal for some, but it is something to keep in mind. There is a .com key which is a time saver when typing in urls, as well as a period and a backslash key.
Overall the keyboard is acceptable and the web browser looks superb. Definitely check this out when looking for your new mp3 player with up to 32 GB of storage.
