Question about web....

[BamaConch]

I recently purchased the Samsung Blade. When I am on the web and I want to see a website,before it sends me it says I need a Handler? I have the option to say ok or cancel. When I click ok it sends me to the ringers page on Sprint...When I click cancel it sends me to the website I wanted to go to. However, its not very good. Basically my question...What is a handler?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Lots of people are having this problem. What websites are you trying to go to? I've actually never had this problem with my 900.

However, to your question about what a handler is... Basically, the sites you are loading have something like Flash, or those annoying sites that play music when you go to them... things that the browser can't load. How do you get a handler? Well, you don't.

It's also worth a shot to check out the Opera Mini thread, as browsing websites on that is much better than using the native browser. You do sacrifice speed, but most of the time it's worth it, I guess.

Yea, but sometimes i get that when i go to PV home page. And im 100% sure that the browser can handle this site. Opera Mini do take your speed away, sometimes i feel im on RV while on Opera Mini (Even though my phone said PV). Is it worth it? I think certain times, it really is.

Opera Mini is definitely worth it...just depends on what you are trying to connect to...Opera Mini, unlike the built in browser on any cell phone, will allow you to connect to full html pages/sites and access everything...I can do my banking online with Opera Mini...I could not even attempt that with the regular browser...to handle the full sites, there is some rendering needed at Opera's end to make the sites look right (or at least readable) on your phone, so that might add a second or two...but to be honest, the difference is not that noticeable to me, and given the benefit of basically being able to see any website I want on my phone, I frequently do not need to travel with my laptop...I would say the extra loading time is definitely worth it in this case...
