My biggest gripe about the Web browsing isn't really about the browser itself--it's about the Veer's display size. Reading text on such a small screen simply isn't ideal, and scrolling through long pages of text and pictures can get a bit frustrating.

When the Veer debuted in February, it didn't have the "4G" label attached to it. A lot of debate surrounds usage of the term "4G." Without getting too technical here, the important thing that AT&T customers need to know is that if your phone has 4G attached to it, you're going to be stuck on a more-expensive 4G plan. According to AT&T and Palm's spec sheets, the Veer's network specs are HSDPA Category 10 (for downloads) and HSUPA Category 6 (for uploads), which offer theoretical peak throughputs of 14.4 mbps and 5.76 mbps, respectively.

We were unable to test the Veer's upload and download speeds, unfortunately, as no FCC-approved Speedtest app is available in the HP App Catalog (we use the Ookla Speedtest app to test Android phones and to conduct all of our 4G testing).
