From Wikipedia:The Ocean has several known software glitches that cause undesirable effects like the screen freezing while web browsing and various hangups while accessing new screens.The Ocean lacks the concept of multi-threading.You can not use the Ocean's music player in the background of other phone functions. Although the music player does have an option for "Surf" (web-browsing), you can not instant message, text, or anything of that nature while listening to music.A common mistake people make is that the Ocean lacks the ability to disable the AOL Instant Messenger message send/receive sound, but it truly can be disabled by turning the "Alerts" volume off.The Ocean is often criticized for the end button placement (above the control pad in landscape and right to it in portrait), which can cause the user to accidentally press the end button while web browsing and quit the browser.
My colleagues and I have all had phones / PDAs with QWERTY keyboards. We were able to type quickly on these devices, but not as quickly as we do on our iPhones. This has become such an obvious, proven truth, that I assume that anyone who asserts that they are quicker on a tactile mobile keyboard than they are on the iPhone keyboard has simply not actually used the iPhone keyboard [properly] for more than an hour.

Yea, but the iPhone is smart enough to attempt to load a YouTube link in the app.

All very valid and true points.Opera Mini 4 is great, but it's not Safari/iPhone great...

Orb does the same thing with any media. Why restrict yourself to youtube?
