Which browser should you use?

Currently, the best browser for Palm OS devices is the pdQbrowser from Qualcomm.  You are able to evaluate the browser before you purchase it.

If you don't want to pay for your browser, consider the ProxiWeb browser. It has good functionality and it's free.

If you have a Palm VII, it may be difficult to use any of the listed browsers to access the web.  Since the Palm VII is based on a proprietary "web clipping" technology, your only choice is to access web sites from one of the these clippings. If the web site does not have a pre-defined clipping, you will not be able to access the site.

Choose Web Browser

 

Decide which browser you want to use to access wireless web sites

Web enabled phone:

The browser is built into web enabled phones.  Therefore, you don't have the ability to choose which browser you prefer once you purchase the phone.  Since the type of browser that is integrated into the phone is only one of the many features that a phone may offer, consider the overall benefits of a phone before deciding which one you want to purchase.
