What's the difference between the web browsing on the iD and the newer models?

Hi,

the title basically explains my question. besides the fact that the LX has a much bigger screen than the iD, what's the difference between the 2 newer models and the iD with web browsing?

I really am interested in the iD, but if the web browsing is sorely lacking then maybe i'll have to reconsider. does it format pages differently than on the lx and slide? does it go slower (probably, because of the lack of EDGE)? Honestly, is there a real difference?

Thanks!

Smaller screen
Smaller resolution
Slower speeds (no edge)
older operating system

So I would have to say yes, the iD is very different. I am sure you can search the net and find side by side pictures. The lx is leaps and bounds better than the iD.

I've had both. The LX is much faster and the resolution is much better than the web browsing on the iD.

To add some variance, did the Sidekick 3 also lack an EDGE network, or possess slower speeds?

the ID is not much slower than a 3 or LX actually. I've compared all 3, and the ID is about 5 seconds slower which isn't very much considering sidekick's internet is already faster than many other phones(except 3G enabled phones)

Well,the pages looks waaaay better on the slide and lx than on the I.d. The rendering is much different than that of any previous sidekicks. Just picture your pc/laptop screen sized down into your phone,that's how it al looks now. As for speed,there isn't much of a difference between the sk3 and I.d due to the processor being the same. Now the slide and lx happen to be waaaaay faster,the slide is a bit faster than the lx when browsing I guess due to more internal memory and a more powerfull processor than the lx. Youtube sidekick lx vs I.d. To see the speeds. I have the slide now and have yet to see a faster phone on edge.

Not quite. The screen size may be smaller than the 3 on the iD, but the resolution is the same.
