Palm Sony UX50 WIFI Browser (Alternatives)

Before I purchase the UX50 Sony as opposed to the Dell X3i , anyone know if there is an alternative browser to the Sony's preloaded Palm Netfront web browser which does not allow browsing of secure websites or trusted pop-ups? ie hotmail, ebay log ins, etc...
I really enjoy Surfing the Web on my friends Axim 3i wifi PPC 2003 explorer (I can go anywhere), however Palm has all the apps I need and I enjoy the OS more. The WiFi surfing can be addicting, so many wireless networks open to surf on...
I really hope there is an alternative to the netfront browser. I like the PPC internet explorer without having to buy a PPC2003 device?

I have been a Palm user for 6 years, but WiFi internet browsing could change that unless there is a good browser.. Any thoughts would be appreciated, Thanks in advance..
Also I am set on one of these two devices with the internal WiFi and there relative size.

there are MANY options:
a) there is a fixed netfront that allows you to connect to hotmail.

but it does allow connecting to secure sites (SSL, etc)

also WebPro 3.01a (the latest) works on the UX-50 as well.

finally there is a new NetFront on its way out that should fix some of the remaining issues.

go over to cliesource there are TONS of writeups about it.

but basically under xp/2k setup ICS so that you share your internet over the Bluetooth Network Adapter.

setup a username that has limited access (ie: a guest account, or a new limited user)

pair ur ux w/ ur computer

setup a new network connection on the ux, you will need special commands to set this up (chk out clie source for them)

bada-bing it should work.

if you have more problems just msg me and ill help you out.
