I'm using mine for the first time and I decided to come here to the forums and test it out. It loads very slow for me, probably because of my crappy DSL. Also, is there a way to get the onscreen keyboard to stop popping up whenever I want to enter text? I am using a perfectly good USB keyboard, and I do not need this stupid thing on my screen.

i don't use my ps3's browser. b/c everyting looks small on my 51" sony tv. yea, i think the ps3 is smart enough to know when there's a ps3 keyboard and stop popping up that stupid onscreen keyboard.

i like to use my psp's browser. i mean it's wirelss. otherwise i just use my computer

You know that you can zoom in dramatically now using the L3 or R3. Press the L3 or R3 analog sticks, I don't know which one, but it work.

I think it's the R3 analog stick. Once you press it, you can zoom in further with the R2 trigger and zoom out with the L2 trigger (or the otehr way around...). I have a 72" dlp and this really comes in handy =D

I used the browser once when I first got my PS3, but IMO web browsing is more suited for a computer.

You can get the text bigger in the browser. You just have to press triangle, go to display (or something like that) and there's options for text size and resoution.
