Gizmodo has a great article about IPhone clones or Phones that have the same UI as an Iphone:Instinct, Vu, Voyager, and Glyde.

All mobiles have great features, but none of these phones seem to have good mobile web capabilities:

“One thing they all have in common is a shitty browser. There isn’t a mobile browser that touches mobile Safari yet. Even when they could render HTML correctly, moving and zooming around the page (especially ones that aren’t mobile optimized) is an exercise in self-control—how long can you take it before stabbing your eyes out. Opera mini does load on the Vu, and it’s better than the included browser, but it worked kinda wonikly at times. For me, that’s a critical flaw in all of these phones.”

I really wonder why this happened. Are the operators afraid of the slowness of their network or how come none of these clones work good for the mobile web? Anybody an idea?
