The 5800 comes preloaded with Pocket Internet Explorer. Paired with Verizon's EV-DO 3G wireless data network, it makes for a very capable browser. IE can be launched from the Start menu, and also appears as a shortcut on the Today screen.

Once open, the left soft key is your list of favorites and the right soft key is the menu key. The Menu opens up a list of things to do, such as jump back to the home screen, pull down the address bar, view your favorites or add the current page as a new favorite. You can customize the view just a little bit, by adjusting the text size, having pages rendered as one column, fit to screen or in desktop mode. And you can also turn pictures on and off for faster or richer Web browsing, depending on your tastes.

For the most part, browsing was speedy. Only the most graphic-laden sites bogged down the browser. IE doesn't include any innovative and useful features such as a mini map or built-in RSS feed reader.

But the decent screen size and fast wireless capabilities get the job done with no issues.

Customize

Windows Mobile 6 lets you customize how you interact the phone to a good degree. The main Today screen can be viewed in five different versions to suit your tastes. There are a decent number of included ringers on the phone, but you can't select songs from your music library to serve as ringtones.
