This is probably a "won't fix" issue, but I throw it out there just in case. ;)

The date browser view type is very, very handy. So handy, in fact, that I'd just love to use it to browse nodes by created date or what have you, rather than by a CCK date field. I've looked at the code and don't really see an easy way of doing this at all, but figured I'd post a feature request all the same. :)

Not necessarily a won't fix, but not sure when I might look into it. Have you looked at the Calendar module yet? It will allow you to create views with regular timestamp fields and display them in calendars, but I just added a new, not particularly well documented feature to it. You can enable a switch Calendar block that allows you to switch between normal views and calendar views to give you the back/next navigation with the normal views.

I just added new capability to the Calendar module that may do what you want here. You can add Calendar arguments to any view that has any kind of a date field and you will be able to browse back and forth by date, with back/next navigation just like the Calendar has.

That's not quite the same as the way the Date browser works, but might be what you need, i.e. with Date Browser you would go to 2007-03PM to browse back and forth by month, but with the Calendar you can use the Calendar: Year and Calendar: Month arguments on any view with any date field, then go to 2007/03 to browse back and forth by month.

If what you really want is the same kind of period arguments that the Date Browser has (2007-03PM), why don't you file that as a feature request against the Calendar module, which is where it would need to go if it's for non-CCK dates.
