Maybe the 8330? But it won't help ME because no way I can have a camera. Concur though the BB web browser is terrible. As bad as the PS3's, which has no excuse for being so poor! An improvement could be had if RIM would let us replace the "default browser" with something like Opera Mobile (or Firefox Mobile!), but I don't see the carriers OR RIM letting that happen any time soon. Maybe it will take Android and iPhone 2.0 kicking RIM's butt in the corporate space for RIM to wake up and OPEN UP! Ah, Ronen, if only there was a BB with Rev A! Maybe the 8330?

The proxy on the BlackBerry works well for EDGE latency but with EVDO Rev A and such it will start to show its uselessness. I just wish somebody came up with a better web browser for Blackberry David,

Even reducing wireless latency won't fix the latency those introduce, which most on fixed wired connections don't have to deal with. I understand why they are there, and they do help cut the amount of data to the handset, but as handset wireless speeds increase and data plan prices drop, I hope the caches/proxies we have to go through to web surf from Blackberry are also improved!
