There is a little secret to making it go just a little quicker. Make your home page www.google.com or .ch or whatever. Then go there and scroll down to preferences, select and then choose the option to format pages for your phone.

Once done it means that your phone uses the google portal as a kind of proxy-server and will render things pretty quickly even on EDGE. If you want to see the page in all it's xml or html glory there will always be the option at the bottom of the page.

It works for most phones btw. Once done, my brothers iPhone renders actually slightly quicker than mine does even using 3G but this of course will depend on the network.
