Well speed out of a rolls royce isn't really the idea
Yes the stock browser is an old grey mare and she ain't what she used to be....but there are a ton of other browsers for the device...I'm sure you'll find a happy medium. Frankly there isn't anything wrong with the browsers...the sites they visit have decided to get needlessly complex though....that means staying ahead of the curve is tougher since you need a team on it all the time....which we don't have...using ad or flash blocker will make pages load more smoothly...webkit...greasemonkey and other progs will help...
using debian and say.... iceweasel will have better results....there are other options...
As far as improvements go....well get to work
It's up to us now....Nokia has completely abandoned us ..
Putter with the sucker and figure stuff out and write a better browser ...best suggestion I have.
In the mean time....
There are a plethora of things to bring it up to coolio factor.
firstly:
1- OS2008 isn't the latest firmware...
last update was 2011 by maacruz I believe ..Diablo Turbo
2- there is the standard option of increasing the ram from 128 to 256
3- suggest that 1st you follow these steps though...

4-also...with the penetrattion testing tools...hacking your friends phones ...wifi networks...universally remoting and turning the household tv off/ on (as well as other appliances)...or randomly changing the channels ...there is no end of mischief you can get into and friends and family to irritate with this great device.
5-run alternate operating systems....wirelessly print docs, with debian you can install open office, or GIMP or countless other programs...
6-play oldskool games...nintendo, snes, etc...have it as a great rss/podcast or vid player (it does after all have a res like a desktop at 800x480..and can play film purdy good)....remote pc desktop connection to stream files to your nokia remotely that you forgot to bring with you...fabulous music player, ereader...list goes on.
It may be old but there is little than can still come close to what greatness lies within this baby.

Have fun
