I'm not a fan of online RSS browsing. I prefer offline instead. That's why I don't like Google Reader. I LOVE Firefox Brief, Internet Explorer's reader, and even Nokia's built in S60 reader, and they all work offline. I use the N900 SIM free

Most of the time it zooms in instead of opening links. Anyone know how to rectify this?
Also it helps to know that a very quick tap just moves the focus to a button or a link and doesn't "click" it. A substantial push will click it, but don't press for too long or it will be detected as "long tap" which works like a right-click on a desktop browser.
After a short time it becomes second nature.

I'm upset that there's no RSS mechanism for subscribing to feeds. What are we supposed to do, open, RSS and load in feeds? In 2009?!

thanks peio. I actully remember hearing that before. but it would be nice to have some sort of indicator that a feed is present instead of always having to check the Add button. maybe make it flicker if a feed is available?

I've seen rave reviews for the N900 browser. Even Engadget liked it. SlashGear compared the N900 speed of rendering with that of the HD2 using the Opera browser. Surprisingly the HD2 came out the winner. I don't know if this may have to do with the method - they measured rendering of the full version of each site. As the N900 loads the full flash this may have slowed down it's full rendering compared to the HD2 Opera, may it not? Would anyone know if SlashGear is comparing apples to oranges in this case?

opera has a turbo mode and does server side rendering like Opera Mini. So its expectedly faster, but dependant upon Opera stsying in business. I prefer keeping the rendering local. more secure
