Nokia: ‘We have the best browser in the industry’

By on April 29, 2008 in News

Our man on the ground, codename ‘Number Four’, reports from today’s Symbian Partner Event that Matti Vanska of Nokia reckons that, ‘We have the best browser in the industry.’

Discuss.

I could write an essay, I really could!

    The browser in the N95 is substantially the same as the iPhone's. So, yes, they can claim to have the best browser. What they don't have is the User Interface to make the best browser into the best experience.

    It's like serving up the world's best coffee. Served in a chipped, leaky mug. In Somalia.

    Excellent point Terence

    On my N95 8GB the browser can’t cope with large pages without falling over. I have to use a combination of Nokia’s and Opera Mini – which is less than ideal.

    I assume this claim from Nokia was meant in the context of the Symbian OS?

    My gran cares not a jot about the vagaries of UI implementation. All she knows is that the web experience is great on an iPhone and utter pants by comparison on a Nokia.

    If yet another self-congratulatory head-in-the-sand industry-only soundbite is uttered, will consumers give a monkey's?

    If they have the best browser in the industry, why don't they share it with their customers instead of the so-so effort we have to endure?

    On S60 it's Opera for me, but the iPhone wins by a mile.

    I believe the folks at Skyfire might have something to say about that… and I might agree.
