Does WM5+ browsing still crash randomly?

Im in a constant battle on my x50v running 2003. Open a site a little too large and bam things start quitting. If it was PIE I would be lucky if I could navigate past pocket google
Yes yes I did all the memory optimizations for 2003 it just doesn't seem like the best for browsing.

Im thinking if I can upgrade to a half decent browsing experience and have options like minimo (even if its slower sometimes I could really use the web2.0 features) I could survive a bit longer without buying an ipod touch :P

Try a hard reset. My x50 can browse some pretty big sites without crashing.

But, it used to crash and a lot. I found out is was b/c of flash player 6. Almost every big site has flash ads on it and the old 6 version couldnt handle it. So i upgraded to 7 when it came out and it happens a lot less.

Other Browsers Id Reccomend:
Netfront
Opera Mobile

These two are more advanced than pie, so they can do more.

hrm no idea which version of flash I have ill just uninstall/install flash 7 and see if it helps. Im just thinking there has to be something better out there. Browsing was never supposed to be this unstable... then again pocket pcs were never intended to do desktop style browsing.

PIE Has never crashed on me. Ever. You running any plugins that may be causing your problem?

@spunker88 I DID have flash6 thought I updated/disabled it (you know uncheck plugins in opera) long ago. It made everything a LOT more stable course when I multitask and have AIM open it would kill the first thing I switch away from but I think MS called that a "feature" for memory management.

I was sort of hoping to see something like Ringo7's input because my PIE is basically only useful for mobile sites. The moment I try to open any normal sites PIE WILL crash.

So I guess its still a consideration to upgrade to WM5 but for now im happy.
