Best of the Mobile Net
When it comes to the Web, not all phones and phone-friendly browsers are created equal. We pitted the iPhone's Safari against other mobile browsers to find the best.

With HP wireless printers, you could have printed this from any room in the house. Live wirelessly. Print wirelessly.
Internet Explorer Mobile
Microsoft's ubiquitous Internet Explorer Mobile is slow and clunky.
Still, having a handset with a touch screen helps in navigating sites. Windows Mobile is the only OS among the five that comes installed on hardware both with and without touch screens. On the other hand, scrolling is practically mandatory on an IE-rendered page, even in landscape mode, because of IE's rendering difficulties. While the browser's default font is compact and easy on the eyes, it's the little things--like a bug that abruptly overwrites the URL you've nearly finished typing--that make it so aggravating to use. Worse yet: It is the slowest mobile browser we tested, taking, in one case, over 2 minutes to load the home page of the irreverent news site Fark.com.
