Pretty interesting.

"Surprised by the results? Its some times hard to believe that Nokia is the same company that makes the Symbian browser! To recap:

MeeGo/Harmattan: 257 and 14 bonus points.
iOS: 217 and 7 bonus points.
Android: 184 and 1 bonus point.

Finally some trivia, the latest Firefox 5 turns in a score of 286 and 9 bonus points, Safari tuns in 253 and 10 bonus points and the Symbian^3 browser, barely manages 36 points!

The Nokia N900 had a great browser and it seems Nokia’s made it even better with the N9!

[Update: Some people will say that its unfair to compare existing products with upcoming ones, and I agree. So for some perspective, as @coolkamio informs me on Twitter, iOS 5 manages a score of 304 + 9]."

Damn.....N9's browser is killing the SoC when rendering theverge.com. Serious CPU killer on that site, or is it just my phone ;)

the desktop site of theverge.com is known to be slow not only on phones but on PCs too you can see its slightly slow in loading...

I thought its only me but I've read others having the same issue too ;)

Find a more biased website for your info? GSM arena tests have it opposite. iOS is incredibly fast, N900 slow, N9 definitely better than N900, but can't beat iOS

Now, if only higher benchmark score == better real world usage. I'll take 'slow' microb over 'fast' grob any day of week. :)

Now I am not sure which you think is biased, www.maemonokian900.com (http://www.maemonokian900.com) where the OP found the comparision or html5test.com (http://html5test.com) what was used for the actual testing?

For the former, of course it is biased and they will celebrate the good score of N9 browser, but for the latter I belive it is device neutral.
The scores should speak for themselves. If you have an android ot ios device you may verify the score yourself.
