Is there a considerable difference between web browsing on a phone with HTML capabilities (enV2 or Touch type phone) as compared to a Blackberry (like a Curve 8830)?
Thanks,

Hello and welcome! Sorry, it took so long for someone to respond. The WAP browser which is a mobile browser found on most cell phones. It is a scaled down browser, only able to access certain websites designed for mobile phone use. The other one, the Blackberry browser, is a full-featured HTML browser (like the ones found on a PC, i.e. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, etc.) which can access most all websites (not just mobile sites) and is the better browser that you really would want to use primarily instead of the WAP browser. The full HTML browser is one of the features of a BB (and other smartphones and some recent higher end regular phones) that normal cellphones don't have and is one of the reasons these devices are used by people who need frequent and full mobile access to the net.
The experiences on a full HTML Browser (non-BB) and that of a BB with a similar full HTML Browser are now essentially the same.
Thanks for the reply--so if I understand you correctly the web browsing ability of some of the newer phones (like LG Touch and enV3) are the same as a BB Curve. Other phones that do not list HTML browsing as a feature are limited to mobile phone websites (like my current LG 8350).
Yes?
Well hold on . . . the regular BB Curve has only a WAP Browser!
