Web browsing sucks on android

Well then you're insane.

People can do whatever they want as long as it doesn't affect you.

...wow...I didnt think u would get a whole phone just for the browsing experience lol Although the only reason I kept the X was for the better reception than the Droid 1....

I woulda thought getting a browser app for your current phone would been enough. Just remember all these phones have pros n cons. Its the cons u can live with that will determine if u will like the phone or not.

I just remembered this thread. I didnt really understand it at the time. After the X came out and reviewers were comparing the text re-fit vs. other phones it made more sense.

Whoa, never knew that. I used KaosFroyo for a few weeks and then switched to XtrSense, and never really noticed. Its probably because I prefer restructuring over non-restructuring.

I have own an iPhone since it came out, but since Apple's strong grip pissed me off i decided to switch to Verizon & Android. I love it it has all I need but the experience ans the say is lacking. please who can i post to that can help.
First and foremost is the internet browser
1.- the zoom sucks you can zoom with gestures and all but the way it does it sucks. if you pinch slightly it should zoom by a small amount. in other world i can not zoom in to cover what i want to, it zoom either way pass were i want or completely zooms out. of course this i think is just a programming issue of not taking into consideration of how big is the pinch. This is frustrating me so much.

2.- when you zoom the browser relays out the entire page. which is completely wrong it should not happen. when say zooming in on a column of text that you think can be better read by zooming in the browser does a re-layout and now my text is all over the place. the expectation is the you are zooming into a small portion of the webpage not that you are changing the dimensions of the page or object you are zooming in (<DIV>,<p>,<SPAN> or which ever). they should stay still and let me get a bigger view of the window that i'm trying to view.
the fix here would be to zoom in without the weird re-layout

it has sucked so much that what I'm doing is caring my iPhone just to browser the web and my droid for all the rest.

Try Xscope. you can easily change the layout option for whether you want the text to fit the screen or not. Plus, many other options (Pin Zoom!)
