Let's hear them, how does browsing compare to the T300? Is it faster?

[grim02]

In terms of raw downloading speed, I would say it's about the same, maybe a bit faster. But the speed of the 600 vs the 300 really helps. Scrolling is no longer waiting for the page to load before it will scroll - it's instant. The higher color count makes links stand out better. And my favorite - when you're halfway down the page and click a link, follow it, and then hit back, you return to where you clicked the link instead of being put right back at the top. That drove me crazy on the 300. Love it.

That's good, my major complaint was just that you couldn't scroll while it loaded, and if you clicked links while it was still loading the thing seemed to pause for a bit.

I REALLY want a T600, but I need to know if it can browse two websites I use in my job...

http://hernando.floridapa.com/GIS/Search_F.asp

and

http://www.hernandomls.com

Could someone out there with a T600 browse those two sites and tell me if they display??

Pretty please???

Thanks!

Tina,

The first one at least displayed, though the frames were a little squished. I clicked New Search and with a bit of scrolling was able to see there was a form for entering some property details. Don't know what to write in those fields, so didn't submit form.

The second link just sat there and sat there and sat there before timing out. So, don't know about that one.

techiechick-

Real estate agent or appraiser? I had the same result as the other poster did with my 600, was able to get around the framed website. I searched for "John Smith" and got several results, and was able to click on each and view the property information.

The second link (MLS) loads well for me, and needs a userID and password. Funny, my MLS password for here in the Midwest didn't seem to be valid... Hope this helps.

That's great news! Thanks!

I'm a Real Estate agent here in Brooksville, Florida. I love my Treo 300, but I thought if I could access property info in the field, it would be awesome.

Thanks for checking those out for me, I think I'll go order my T600 now!

Thanks!!

I bet you can now buy a house with your Treo 600 as well!

I mean my 300 already works great to program my TiVo!

Not to get off-topic, but what are you using to control your Tivo? Simple remote control software and the IR, or are you going through the net?

How about image size - the one thing I hated with my 270 was that it would reduce large images and you had no choice of scale. If you're looking at a map or something like that it would make it illegible. Can you scale images or force to full size and scroll left/right/up/down to view?

[skfny]

Image size:

You CAN view the full-sized image. There's an option to load your page in a mode where you'll have a chance to scroll around the page, and see it full-sized.

Don't know what he's using, but Novii Remote is a popular program that uses IR. I was thinking of getting it once I get a T600
