There still
are a couple major bugs with webkit though, one relates to using the s
a mobile network from serotek. If you use the email feature, voice
over is unable to read the email message,
Not necessarily a Serotech bug, no. Probably best reported via the
WebKit bugzilla for the WebKit developers to investigate.
the other major bug relates
to voice over just saying button or link sometimes when there may
actually be a label there.
Do you have an example URL that shows this behaviour?
Have you reported it to the WebKit Bugzilla so it can get fixed?

As I've pointed out before, the problem with the traditional route of
announcing elements with onclick or onmouseover attributes is that
better development practice involves adding special behaviours are (a)
with script not attributes and (b) on higher elements in the element
tree, catching events that "bubble" up the tree from descendant
elements. (This is because the more handlers you attach, the worse
performance gets.)
The solution to this is for developers to label special controls with
ARIA; at the moment, WebKit's ARIA implementation is largely unstarted.
This will probably require an update to voice over as well.
If such items are not presented as buttons, then yes it probably would.
