When I've tested it (TP 1.02) it was a little unstable, specially on the Advanced Settings inside some option screens. And the font it used was always Courier New :(
Ah, I have a X51V.

its nice but slow and unstable. Pocket IE wins for me until netfront can up the speed at least :)

netfront 3.3 renders the pages about 4x slower the pie. netfront won't work on sites designed in asp and crashes when i try to configure advanced options. I'm also not thrilled that it forces courier new font on all pages even though it does make it neater at times

and the deal breaker : full screen mode is super buggy in netfront 3.3 and works perfectly in pie

i am however leaving netfront installed and will try any updated versions

for now m$ wins again :)

I've tested the new nightly build of Minimo and I can tell you, it could be slow, but it's now very stable.
NetFront 3.3 is unstable because it's TP in my opinion. I remember my iPaq 4150 times when I've used NetFront 3.1 and 3.2 and I can tell you, having Flash, Java and JavaScript was a great plus besides all the other features at that time.
PIE will never be good without a decent JavaScript implementation and that's why NetFront and Minimo will take over. Speed will be an issue until they move to final versions.

Well, that's my 2 cents. ;)

This tech preview doesn't come with the java engine that their final product (and previous products) has. I'd guess that's why it dies on you.

just installed

gave it shot and it installed just fine. While surfing it was unstable, locked up and crashed a few times.

I will be getting this one when it fully supports WM5.

The pages I looked at looked very nice, much better than PIE.
