Not too bad...If you have a profile that has a bunch of pictures and crap, it takes a little while to scroll through everything. But for the most part, it's pretty good for a phone.

Why would you think this is a lame question? One of the first things I did when I got my Pearl was to go to my MySpace page and see what was up.

I have lots of flash and other material on the page and I wanted to see what worked and did not work.

www.myspace.com/heartinsanfrancisco

While graphics load fine, none of the flash or streaming works. But the Pearl's browser is not marketed as being able to do all the fancy browser stuff.

Besides, just like mckinneycm, because the Pearl is a phone I do not expect the Pearl to act the same as my desktops or notebooks.

I don't get any errors on my MySpace page, unless I try to play the videos I have posted, etc.

I have found that opera mini was the best for myspace back in the days when I had a myspace account. the pages load faster and you can cheack mail and do everything else you need to do.

For some reason Myspace doesn't update on the regular browser, you'd log in and see a "New Comments!" "New Events!" New blog subscriptions posts!" "New Picture comments!" "New event invite!" when you really don't have those. Even after you check it, it'll still say you have a new message. Unless you're popular and you probably have them everyday, but I sure as hell don't, haha!

Just got Opera Mini last night, works like a charm on there.

Truth be told, I have no interest in seeing complex web pages on my Pearl. The screen is just too small.

Yes, it would be cool to see my MySpace page www.myspace.com/heartinsanfrancisco for a few minutes, but then I would tire of it.

Most MySpace pages are too "busy" to be viewed on a 2.1" screen or whatever size the Pearl is. TV or screen streaming video would be great, but only in full screen mode. Anything else, such as the small graphics on MySpace just does not thrill beyond just seeing if it could be done.

I think myspace works well on this phone. I wouldnt suggest sending messages, browsing things like that. I just use it to check it. I save replying and all that other stuff for my computer!

I posted a website a week or so ago that has optimized certain websites for mobile viewing:
