I was trying to download wallpapers onto my iphone form www.deviantart.com and every time the page is about to finish loading it closes the browser automatically.

Is this because there are too many images on that page and att is limiting bandwidth?
 
Well does it work over wifi?

No, I am using wifi and it still boots me off. All other webpages seem to be working fine.

This webpage has a lot of wallpapers on it. You think ATT kicks user's off?

Just tried it and got the same issue, most definatly from the website, you should contact them about it...
 
Sounds like you are running out of ram. The phone is trying to cache all of the images on the page and is running out of memory. Once you get to the image you want, hit the address bar to stop the page from loading the rest of the images.
 
i could be wrong, but i'm pretty sure ATT or any other carrier do not have the power to crash/close browsers on handsets. it's more likely that deviantart has changed its mobile page some how and its no longer stable with the iphone version of safari.
 
Thanks for the feedback.

So how are you all getting your wallpapers? Just emailing it to yourself?

What resolution should we get for the iphone?

You are experiencing a bug in Safari. It should not happen. Therefore, you should report the bug to Apple. If you are a developer or have an ADC membership of any sort, use http://bugreporter.apple.com/ otherwise use the feedback form at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
