WebPro 3.0 and T5

[ipalm]

Has anyone tried WebPro 3 on the T5 and if so, what problems did you encounter if any? I've read that the 5 way navigator doesn't work...I don't care too much about that...I just don't want to crash the handheld.

I believe the T5 has blazer 4.0, which is supposed to be a much better browser than web pro 3.0. Its up there with Netfront at the top. There is no reason to put v3 on a T5.

There is a particular webpage I like to monitor while on the go, and the lack of a proxy in Blazer 4.0 makes it a very big download. Using WebPro 3 on a friend's Palm was a much smaller and quicker download because of the proxy, so I'm hoping that WebPro 3 will work so I can make use of the proxy. Alternatively, is there a proxy setting I can put in Blazer to compress the size of the download?

I tried using Skweezer without success - the specific page won't load properly.

I trialed a T5 for a few day and wondered why everyone thought Blazer was so much better than WebPro. Blazer seemed to download a little faster, but I had two major problems that made me think it sucked:

1. It didn't fully cache pages, so if I hit the "back" button, it would re-download a whole bunch of stuff that should have been in the cache. With WebPro, it didn't bother downloading anything--it just snapped right back to where it was when the previous page was downloaded. That makes reading things like this forum a real drag.

2. Blazer can't handle the security required to get me into my bank's website and my work's extranet site (including Web Outlook). WebPro could do both without a hitch.

What am I missing that makes Blazer so great?

Well, the only thing I do not like about WebPro is ist speed. It is abysmally slow...

Well, I personally don't find WebPro to be slow as there are some big webpages which would end up being compressed by the proxy in WebPro and would therefore download more quickly. I'm looking for the proxy option to help with these pages (granted, this is not true for all webpages that I look at on my T5).
