Nokia Xpress vs Internet Explorer
Yesterday, Ali posted about Nokia’s new release called Xpress for Lumias, something that compresses data to save on bandwidth and load times.
Rafe Blandford at All About Windows Phone has done a test to see how much, if at all, Xpress lives up to its job.

Whilst just a small sample test, it shows that when connection is slow, Xpress really comes in handy, with the most savings on heavy websites.
Rafe’s conclusion?
Give serious consideration to using Nokia Xpress for your web browsing on Nokia Windows Phone devices if you are on a slower cellular connection, or if have a data cap of 500MB or less.

This support sthe theory of VERY SLOWLY phasing out S40 in favor of Lumia on cheaper scale (with the Lumia 510) this is a great price saver, I can see it going free on contract with 50MB of data and proving how much it saves (if nokia are able to get Xpress as default somehow)
I would think Nokia’s special arrangement to make changes would allow them to set Xpress as the default browser.
On WP7 and not in the US
Still wonder why till now Nokia don’t bring S40 browser to Symbian to replace symbian’s poor browser…
Asha new browser doesn’t support flash. If you want a browser for non flash burdened sights, Opera Mini for S^3 does the sa,e data compression as Nokia’s Xpress
This is how they should phase out symbian and MeeGo in first place without hurting the smartphones sales
Love the fact that the xpress browser automatically hides the bar at the bottom and goes fullscreen.
Buena app, solo le falta los botones adelante y atras en la barra de direcciones!
Thats why ppl still love nokia when they make apps like these! They care about ppl and ther pockets,not like apple take wat ever you can from the customer.Iv have had an iphone 3s and 4. but not anymore am going back to nokia and will be buyin the nokia lumia 920 at xmas.A great app and idear!
I suppose it was to be expected, but Nokia Xpress seems to have the same rendering limitations of IE9. I thought I’d test it with some sites that IE9 can’t render properly, and Xpress gave the same output.
