That's probably the main reason I haven't upgraded to OS6 yet. I tried a few phones at stores this past week (both were the Torch) and I thought the native browser was very weak. I couldn't read the text on the pages unless I zoomed in, and then I felt like I was in a funnel with no perspective on the rest of the page. I purposely didn't use the touch screen so I could get an idea of how it would be on the 9700. I downloaded Opera Mini 5.1 and that was much better because I could use mobile view as a setting, but the cursor was so hyperactive that it made it virtually unusable.
