Remember when we introduced you to the Deep Fish? Microsoft's new mobile phone browser comes with a lot of perks. There's an analysis of the Deep Fish browser in a video from Gizmodo, enumerating the downsides of the free mobile browser. But that doesn't mean Deep Fish doesn't have its uses.

So far, Deep Fish is a lot easier to use than most Windows Mobile web browsers. It takes snapshots of a web page on the server side and sends the images on your phone, minimizing CPU use. Such a method, however, doesn't support dynamic pages, JavaScript, flash and other web advances.

Bandwidth's quite slow in a skinny pipe and whenever you zoom in, the high quality definition has to be downloaded from the server which slows down the web browsing experience. There are noticeable delays when you browse, and the page actually cuts off to a certain distance down the page.

Gizmodo's verdict? It's nice for an experimental browser. Of course, different strokes for different folks. Just test this free browser to see if it works for you.
