Is it any better/faster than what I am getting now on my SK2? Just seems that what I am getting now with my SK2 could be much better/faster.

anybody have any experience with both phones? I'd really like to know!

The web browsing on my Cingular Blue 650 is spectacular compared to either the SK or 600 (I have all three - the 600 has been in my desk since I received the 650). Much better color and speed.

Ok, perfect! Thanks for replying! Now, is there a difference between the Tmobile internet and what's offered with the sidekick's? I see on their site that it's not even listed when you choose by feature (T-mobile internet) Is the speed difference there? Or is it the device? Or both?

Still don't expect much with T650. I have it connected to the internet via LAN. Problem is that Blazer doesn't render properly tons of websites specially those that are hevy on Javascript.

I have both an SK2 and a 650, and for web browsing, the Treo can't be beat. It is way faster and the pages look a million times better. However, Blazer does not render some sites properly and sometimes takes it's sweet time when javascript's involved. That's why I also have Xiino installed, it's much faster. Both browsers have their limitations, but I find that a page that won't work on one often WILL work on the other, so it all works out.

I still use my SK2 to browse the web sometimes, mostly during the day when I'm expecting phone calls(b/c calls recieved when the Treo is transferring data[when the little arrows next to the signal meter are green] get sent to voicemail). It's still good too, now that they fixed the issues anyway

I don't think there's much difference, except that the SK2's internet is sold as the SK2-specific plan & not T-Mobile internet since the SK2 is sold as a communication device & not just a phone. They package it's plan with unlimited text & whatnot b/c of the IM clients & stuff. There is a speed difference, in that the SK2 is SLOWER than other phones(in my experience anyways). It is b/c of the device b/c the SK's internet has to go through Danger's servers before ithe web pages are sent to your device. It's not a LOT slower, but there is a difference.

What do you pay for your internet plan wth your treo? I'm just trying to figure out what I should be getting used to here. Because if I bought the wrong device to surf the web, then I want to get it right you know? I guess it would appear that I had too high of an expectation with mobile web browsing.
