Safari provides two build numbers: one for the rendering engine, and one for the application. Just like Mozilla browsers provide both a Gecko build ID and a Firefox/SeaMonkey/etc. version number. Webkit nighlies appear to be using a newer rendering engine (easy to verify, since it supports features the release version doesn't), but the same application version (or at least claiming to be). @David Storey: Totally off-topic, I know, but after trying out some Webkit nightlies, I think I’ve figured out why it’s showing the same build number as the current release version of Safari.

It is supposed to work on even the cappiest phones, even with low RAM -- and still display the full page. If the page is too long/big, it breaks it up into multiple pages with a "next" button. kabili, that’s exactly what Opera Mini is capable of doing.

Seems the sniffer script doesn't work correctly (even more as it gives the same build number as the release version of Safari). Brower sniffing sucks :) Being up to version 419 would be impressive. haha, that’s the build number.
