> This is a largely matter of personal preference
In that case, made their could indeed be a personal setting in some
configuration dialog?
Well maybe it's only an opinion, but then the other point of view is merely an
opinion too.
Moreover, the thing is, somebody had to _go_out_of_their_way_ to implement this
behavior, which is an inconvenience to at least some of the users.
And if the other path had been taken, would that actually have _inconvenienced_
anybody? Do we really want to pander to the kind of users who might be "scared"
of long URLs? Maybe it might explode in their face or other such nonsense? :-)
Probably that kind of person would get an iPhone anyways, blissfully unaware
that there are other smartphones out there :-)

Ok, but if I wanted an Opera Phone, I would have gotten an Opera Phone
all along

from the *beginning* of a URL is shown (so if a URL is longer than 14-20
characters, only part of the host portion of the URL is visible anyway).
Yeah, show the beginning of the URL. My point all along.
Btw, the Android buitin browser shows the entire URL as well (... as
much as fits, from the beginning, yadda di, yadda da, ...). And the
archetypical iPhone user might have heard that "Samsung" makes nice
smartphones too, so even this category would be able accustomed to see
more than just the hostname :-)
