I have internet browser as my only choice. For browser identifcation, I chose Blackberry. I would uncheck the supprt javascript option. By the way, have you done a battery pull recently. That helps. Also make sure sure you clean the cache under cache operations.

Ditto. Disabling java will significantly decrease the time it takes for a page download, but may take away some needed function depending on the site.

For viewing very mobile unfriendly site, take a look at http://www.skweezer.com/.

8900 doesnt have 3G which may or may not be a factor. Do you have other apps running in your phone?

There can be a big perceived difference between EDGE and GPRS, too, sometimes.

t-zones is t-mobile's WAP browser, not internet browser.
You may be charged for using WAP outside of your plan.
Change the browser to web n' walk (t-mobile named Internet brower).

so you have only T-zones and Hotspot browser?
Do you have web n' walk (free internet) on your account?
Do you also have the Blackberry Email Booster?

On a similar note, I just upgraded my Tour to another 5.0 variant. The browser is much faster. I wonder if the OP is using the latest build for that phone

If the OP is using the WAP browser, its hardly surprising that its slow.

You do have a blackberry data plan / blackberry data service? And you do not have the blackberry internet browser as an option? Take a look at How do I resend my service books? - BlackBerryFAQ.

You probably can also resend service books from the blackberry handset via the internet email setup wizard. I'm not certain what the icon is labeled on your model and OS, but perhaps Manage Internet Email. Look for it. Or see the link above for further instructions.
