I've been using the beta for several months and most recently the trial version. It's far superior to PIE, which takes forever to load pages on my Dell Axim X51v. I will gladly shell out $30 when the full version becomes available.

Definitely slower, but significantly faster than PIE/IEM, which is good news given that NF 3.2 was slower than PIE.
I've posted a lot of numeric results of the trial version also here on PPCT about two weeks ago when the trial version was finally made available. See this article for a complete comparison and review.

Did you try beta2? It's strange you find it more sluggish than NetFront - I've been testing all browser versions on all of my Pocket PC's (several of them) and have always found )and benchmarked) Opera Mobile the fastest browser for the Pocket PC.

I'm not aware of any upgrade offers at this stage. On that note, it's probably best that we wait until ACCESS makes the application available for purchase, since that's when they'll most likely reveal their pricing plans and offers (if any).
