I don't think NetFront has been updated since the initial beta offering, has it?
Too bad if it hasn't. At the time, it was going head to head with Opera.

I think that Japanese improve it all the time - it gets faster and smoother. I can download commercial, authentication-requiring podcasts with it, so I am happy. |

| Personally, I can't stand Netfront! I've optimized the settings for performance yet it's much slower than IEM. I know IEM has it's faults but with a few tweaks and the pieplus add on it's not too bad at all. I use Iris for the few times when I need more than IEM+pieplus can offer... |

ok, you might be right that it is slow on cellular connection - but not problem for me as I use NetFront on WiFi only. On cellular connection then indeed I am using only MS Internet Explorer as it is very lightweight. |

netfront is constantly optimized and i highly prefer it to opera mobile.
i don't need flash at all. and it renders much more cleanly and is faster on my i780.
it is not as finger friendly menu wise, but it works superb with keyboard equipped devices, as you can use the keyboard shortcuts to walk around in the menus. |
