Before discovering the Nexus One, Jason thought he didn't need a smartphone. Now he can't bear to be without his Android phone. Jason hails from Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane depending on his mood and how detailed a history you'd like. A web developer by day with an interest in consumer gadgets and electronics, he also enjoys reading comics and has a worryingly large collection of Transformers figures. He'd like to think he's a gamer, but his Wii has been in a box since he moved to Sydney, and his PlayStation Vita collection is quite lacking. Most mornings you'll find him tilting at various windmills on Twitter - follow @JM77 and say hi!

Simply disable the offending Javascript code on that page and it loads fine – the built in stock internet browser is based of the webkit standard. The same for all androids. OneHD crashes every other phone i tried as well using the same browser. Nexus 4 uses Chrome – also available on the Optimus G and performs the same on both phones rendering… Read more »
