“The N900 is my handheld of choice and as I’ve stated before it
is by far the web browsing phone currently on the market. The most
wonderful thing about FOSS is choice, just like a desktop computer
the N900 provides you with a variety of web browsers to choose from
and the Mozilla cooperation choose Maemo as the first platform to
release their mobile browser for. I’ve been using firefox as the
primary browser on my N900 since just prior to it’s 1.0 release,
the following are my summations of what I think of Mozilla’s mobile
browser.

“Firefox Mobile navigates the web wonderfully, what few pages
MicroB (the default N900 browser) Firefox handles like a dream. I
have yet to find a website it fails to render properly.

“Zooming in and out in firefox mobile works well. Double tapping
on a section of the screen zooms to that portion for you. If this
zoom scopes in too far or not enough for you holding control and
pressing your plus/minus keys will allow you to have a more
controlled zoom in the browser.”
