Upgrade Browser on Treo 700wx?

I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade the current browser on the treo 700wx (sprint). I sometimes like to post on certain forums while commuting but they do not support version 4. Has anyone had any luck with this?

Have you tried operamini?

No I haven't, I wasn't even aware that I could use that. Could you drop me a link when you have time? Are there any other browsers out there?

It works, just have to install a java program, Esmertec Jbed is what I use and opera mini runs fine in it.

have you been able to get such sites as youtube to work on your 700wx?

No, youtube will load but the streaming video will not. Once I click on the link it bombs out. I have even put some small videos on my server and it will not play them without downloading them first. I did find a way to get a 4gb sdhc card to work on the trea which gave me lots of storage. I think the 8gb might work but have not heard anyone that tried it.

I might be putting this phone on eBay while I can still get some money for it and look into one of the pc phones with wm6 - what do you guys think?

I got them to work with the m.youtube.com but its crap needless to say heh. And yea I am in the same boat, tempted to sell the phone....had it a year and its already seems like a pos.
