Eventually...at this rate...the n900 will end up being a glorified n8x0... good for calls...but for everything else....wifi ...will be needed....
I feel like it would be simpler (for a non-dev/beginner dev/general user) to set up a proxy that compresses images, strips JS, ads, etc. rather than using the browser as is/hoping for someone else to do it.

If I start using my n900 again as a main phone one day, that's probably the route I'll go.

Wouldn't be a problem if people designed their sites properly and didn't just throw in heaps of javascript libraries/frameworks "just because", and actually worked on making their sites small, fast, useful.
