It is however very clear there is not much between the two handsets, making browser performance another non-factor in choosing between the two devices."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/wpt/auto/1290696943.usr110171.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>WMPoweruser.com has collected some evidence from Wirefly.com that suggests the browsing experience on a Windows Phone 7 device runs neck and neck with the iPhone 4. It's certainly a bit of a subjective test, and more exhaustive testing would be required to actually validate the results, but I'd say that performance is not too bad for this initial release. Personally, I find the ability to auto-flow text while you vary the zoom level while browsing, a feature offered on other platforms like the Android, to be the most desirable browsing feature. I hope to see it on the Windows Phone 7 platform down the road.<em></em></p>
