compared with internet surfing on a desktop or a laptop, how is it on a pda? are there certain websites that cant load or limits to which you can use it?

As well as the resolution of your screen and if you use any utilities to increase said resolution (which I only think you'll see on VGA screen devices).

There are websites that are harder to read or understand on my device and there are other websites that have an alternate page that loads which is specifically coded for my device, just to make the experience excellent. For the most part, if you can get around some annoyances, you can still use the website (unless the website denys access for anything except the latest browser, but there are ways to get around that too).

Things are good enough for me to get by, but not as nice as a PC. Then again, considering the differences in resolution from a mobile device and a PC, it is amazing that the mobile device can keep up, eh? :)

pocket pc's w/vga (640 x 480) display are really the best for viewing sites
or a high res clie (480 x 320)

Prob I've found with surfing on PDA's is that you can only have one site open at once.. I normally have about 8 on my desktop open at once :-S

There are alternative browsers (not free though, in almost all cases) that allow for more than one site to be open at once. They aren't too hard to locate...
