Default Definitely cool but...

I really like this build, and the widgets are great. It definitely has some great rendering.

However, I have yet to find a browser that can beat Netfront for rendering speed, especially for when I am using Newsbreak to read RSS feeds and click on the "Read more online" link to get the full story. In Netfront, sites like ABC news render almost instantly and I can start reading the text. In any other browser I constantly have to wait for all the grapics and crap to load just so I can scroll to the story. Opera 8.x had a great Jump to Main Content setting that worked well for this, but it had other quirks I hated dealing with. I am hoping the next version of Netfront comes out soon. So far it is my favorite mobile browsing experience, except for the fact that it does not handle media links (like PocketIE does).
