SurfCube 3D Browser Is Better Than Internet Explorer for Windows Phone
SurfCube is a web browser for Windows Phone available at the Marketplace. You can choose to use it on the Nokia Lumia 800 instead of Internet Explorer. It has an interesting 3D interface. Swipe from edges to open tabs, settings, or the address bar. If you don’t like the swipe gestures, you can enable the bottom menu to navigate through the app.

Even though the user interface is interesting, I really like that SurfCube 3D Browser can open the touch version of Facebook. I can’t get Internet Explorer to render it correctly. The Mashable mobile site is also another one that Internet Explorer can’t seem to render.
Here are the features for SurfCube 3D Browser. The version shown in this video is 4.0
