Yuck. Current WAP-based phones can't even do websites well.
I've not been privy to 3G tests, so I don't know if GPRS/CDMA 1x does 
better. 

Of course, some of that is phone-specific. My Verizon Wireless Qualcomm
860's web browser always responded much more quickly than my current VZW
Nokia 3285's, and both phones feature microbrowsers authored by the same
company (Phone.com/Openwave).
