The Blackberry browser needs some help, I am hoping when I get the new Blackberry Bold 9700 that the web browser will be improved. I currently use the Blackberry Bold 9600 and the web Browser that I use the most is the Bolt Browser not the Blackberry Browser. I have tried Opera Mini and Media Net web browsers by AT&T and the Bolt Browser works the best by far. The web is the desktop version most of the buttons work and I can go to my Wachovia account and use the online services much better than the Blackberry Browser. The Opera Mini Browser 4.6 beta was faster but I could not copy and paste or do some of the functions that I can do on the Bolt Browser. Today I got an email sent to me from Blackberry about tips and tricks when I clicked the link it automatically sent me to the Blackberry browser as this is set as my default browser by the Blackberry device itself. I wish I could have the Bolt Browser as my default browser. Well when I went to the Blackberry site on the Blackberry browser to see the tips that Blackberry was talking about I could not see the text. I had to copy the page and paste it in my Bolt Browser to see the text and navigate properly through the Blackberry website. That was real stupid for Blackberry to send emails out to consumers and the links not work properly on there own devices. This is not the first time I have gotten emails from Blackberry that I could not read properly or open the links properly on my Blackberry device. I should not have to open the emails from my desktop and open the links from my desktop, especially the email on file with Blackberry is my Blackberry device email. I guess I need to forward the email to one of my desktop email addresses to see the email and link properly or send it to my iPhone. If the new Blackberry Bold 9700 does not have an improved browser Blackberry will lose more market share to the Apple iPhone, Android devices and other competitors. What Blackberry needs to do is have a browser like Bolt with video capabilities, Flash and Java. I was hoping Skyfire would have there browser ready for Blackberry devices by now. I use Skyfire on my Blackjack 2 and its a better browser the Window Explorer. I guess Google with its open source knows that if you give someone the opportunity to improve on something they will and there apps will only get better with time. Blackberry did buy a company that builds a web browser in the last few months hopefully that was there first step in improving the web browser. Now after emailing this post I need to use my Bolt browser to edit the tags and categories.The best BlackBerry available, the Bold 9700 packs a multitude of features into a sophisticated, slimmed-down design
