Today, the Web Browser has a crucial role to play in the advancement of any Smartphone you might be carrying along. There are quite a few Web Browser apps for mobile devices fighting for their space in the competitive market. But only the one will strong and quality features survives today, or else the consumers switch on to others at a very brisk pace. One such Web Browser loaded with some great features is Surfy(currently in ‘beta’ stage) for the Windows Phone 7 mobile devices – its the first “tabbed” web browser for Windows Phone 7.
A huge improvement over the Internet Explorer Mobile that came with Windows Mobile 6.5 but still a little shy of the features in the desktop versions of Internet Explorer.
