Web Surfing on Treo (Cingular)

Hi, I am curious about web surfing with the Treo 650. What kind of browser does it have with the Palm OS? Does it limit web surfing at all? If I go to Ameritrade.com and try to open up a chart or something will I have problems because I'm not on IE?

Also for Cingular am I right in assuming that the only difference between the 650 and the someday to be released 700W is Palm OS vs Microsoft 5.0? I mean does 700W support any faster data speeds than Edge?

Thanks
Rich

ameritrade open fine for me but i didnt see any charts to test. the treo use a broswer called blazer. there are others one of them a java browser. and the diffrence between the 650 and 700 the major ones. evdo vs edge/gprs windows vs palm i think faster processor. but here is a link to side by side

You should be fine with Blazer...I use Scott-trade with my phone with no problem...then again I am also in college and don't have time to use the active stock analysis or other flash/java type internet functions, but I doubt that they wont work. Besides, Cingular's network will leave you staring at your Treo for quite a while waiting for everything to load on their current data network...it's really just made for light sub-1.5MB page viewing. Use wifi/laptop for the heavy stuff.

That side by side chart was great. Hey I noticed that it said the 650 has USB while the 700 doesn't. Why would they remove that from the new one? Is that a big deal or do you guys just use bluetooth anyways?
