During BlackBerry's slide presentation at the World conference introducing the new 7 OS, RIM showed off slide which claims that, its new browser is faster than the one on the Apple iPhone and Android handsets. At one time, the BlackBerry browser would choke on JavaScript and web sites would crawl to a stop while being downloaded. Now, the Sun Spider JS test shows that the browser on the BlackBerry 7 OS executes JavaScript faster than any other mobile browser.
According to RIM, the new BlackBerry's browser is, "now one of the best browsers in mobile today" with pages loading 1.6 times faster than seen with the browser on BlackBerry 6 OS. Changes to the software optimizes Web Kit while new hardware increases browser's speed. The faster zooming and panning leads to fewer cases of "checker boarding" or the visual checker board type image that comes when the browser speed is slower than the speed that you are navigating the browser at.
