Alternative Browsers for your BlackBerry or other Smartphone

As anyone that owns a BlackBerry can attest the included browser is not the fastest. Here are two alternatives. Bolt is much easier to work with in filling out forms using the touchscreen and virtual keyboard.

Opera:

Bolt:

Droid Syncing with Standalone Outlook - FAIL

Please note that correct to today, Nov 3rd 2009, the new Droid phone from Verizon will NOT naively sync with standalone Outlook (IOW w/o exchange)

I am searching for a 3rd party tool that will do this but the only ones i can find are for syncing with the "googleplex" or with MS Exchange.

TY for the offer but I do not want to share my private data with the "cloud."

Palm and BB have done syncing for years....amazing Droid FAIL!

Morotolla/Verizon please please fix this if you want me to buy this product!
