The only other one that I know of that works on your phone is Req wireless.

i've downloaded the trial version and its seems ok, although the trial verison is very limited so you can't really test it. i wouldn't mind paying for a 3rd party browser, however $20 is a rip. i'll just stick to my built in browser for now.

Req Wireless is well worth the $20. I put it on all four of my MM A700's and everyone uses it instead of the built in browser. It makes your phone really feel like a functioning laptop in the palm of your hand.

AL in CAL

$20 isn't that bad, it's not like they are charging you every month, it's only a one time charge.

Agreed. I've used it for quite some time (along with their EmailViewer program). Both are very much worth the money. I've key-exchanged many times and the programs have both performed admirably on every phone I've used them on.

It would be nice, however, if WebViewer had WAP support, too, rather than telling you to shut down and use your regular browser for that. Other than that one gripe, the programs are excellent. Highly recommended!

what other advantages do these programs offer over your built in browser?

culpthug · 10-03-2004, 10:53 PM

are theese any faster??

Galley · 10-04-2004, 12:06 AM

Their emailviewer program is well worth $20. It can not only view HTML mail (and some attachments) but it can follow embedded like to real web pages.

Basically it's a full HTML browser like you have on your PC. It can render graphics, tables, forms, etc. You can scroll a line at a time or a pixel row at a time, and view images full-size. There's also OCR so you can convert text within an image to actual viewable text. The browser has full bookmarking capability, too.

Hey, i know this thread is super old, but question:
could I use it to go to a link of a (large) image & scroll it, like this traffic map

harris · 10-07-2005, 03:26 PM

Well i'm using pocketweb right now and I can see the map but I cannot scroll. Incidentally there is google map application for cellphones.
