Unfortunately that's racial profiling for you, don't take it personally.

People with Scouse accents are always frowned upon by people from my area, same thing really.

When is it slow, and on what sites?

Disable Java, helps load SN etc much quicker.
Which Storm have you got?

Are you in a 3G area?
So many questions lol

Sorry for all the questions, Gonzo

Bold Browser will speed things up for you. Bolt Browser for an OTA install. And will also allow youtube viewing too.

Sadly the amount of scripts running on some sites these days can cause a nightmare for Blackberry's (its a should have bought an iPhone moment lol)

Java can be turned off via browser options. For sites you need java running on, hit J for the page to reload with java running.

Try Bolt and go from there
Also is your OS all up to date, or have you just left it as you got it?
