Now, even the other browsers for Palm like Xiino are mostly terrible at formatting, though they usually load sites faster.
... and most of the "other" browsers lack full screen support, i.e. are limited to 320x320. Another cool feature of blazer is that it will cause the device to reset if you access an SSL page with a self-signed cert. Palm created my device about 8 months ago, and since then, they haven't fixed any of the obvious problems with the device. It appears that nokia takes a rather different approach to QA.
