So — what about the browser? I fired up the default browser on the thing (Obigo). It took a while to load up but when it did and it started to display content, I got a real shock. I tried “tapping” on a link — no response. I tried scrolling the page by sliding the scroll bar — no response. What the heck? They I looked down at the bottom of the screen — where four buttons appeared with up, down, left and right arrows (in a row). I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Yes on the Prada phone, you have to use a badly re-created four-way navigation (a “soft joystick”) at the bottom of the screen to navigate the browser.
It really reinforces my view that even the most advanced phones still ship with cruddy browsers or in this case obviously rushed implementations. These problems are still holding back the mobile Web.
