The synapse shredding mini squadron just landed!

Another top iphone game ported. But it's 23MB and no SD support!

Rooting is looking more and more appealing....

What browser is everyone using? I'm currently using the default one that comes with DeFrost, but was wondering if there was a better one?
 
I have loads of little bits and pieces, the biggest thing without SD support is copilot satnav at 22mb. Most other things are <2mb. Still nearly full.

Default browser is still the best from my experience - Opera is nice if you're not in a 3g/h area. Firefox is in beta but currently a bloated load of ass (much like how it is in on windows) and Dolphin HD has some nice features but is generally slower than stock.
 
I'm in the US too - it's eye-wateringly expensive tbh, but I am at least getting 'value' for money, my contract is around $130 a month with Verizon but that does include unlimited calls, texts and data - and I did use around 8,000 minutes and 3gb of data haha :p

3G coverage is great though, pretty much everywhere and get around 160-200k/s so most of the time I don't even bother using Wi-Fi just use 3G instead.
