I'm turning it off and getting way faster speeds on the iPhone. LIke 10 seconds vs. 15 or 20. I would like to see the news media pick this up and educate the masses of the advantage. Interesting how Apple defaults to on, BB to off. BB knows they must or else. Apple seems to have the edge on the browser by a mile or two.</p> Yes, the JS issue has piqued my interest as well.

The Bold has a ways to go. Even with JS on it still is much faster.</p> I ran a few of the tests on WiFi on my iPhone and it blows those numbers away when you turn off JS. The Bold has a ways to go.
