Can’t wait to purchase the Nokia E63 so I can go back to working with Opera Mini. It’s one of the best. Unfortunately ,my current Nokia 6080 screams “Out Of Memory” each time I try to run it thus I’ve deleted it for good.

i feel that UCWEB is faster and easier to use.
opera is useful for the people that used to PC browser and cannot get used to the small screen in cell.

Opera mini is a good browser when we use mobile phone for browsing. I have use mini opera when I am browsing from my mobile as compared with the default browser given in the mobile I would definitely go for opera mini. I like mini opera because it’s very fast and moreover it gives features of pointer which can move like we are using mouse. Opera in system is not so good as compared with Firefox. So in system I would like to go for Firefox and in mobile mini opera.

I miss my Opera Mini days when I used to read my feeds in lecturers.
Don’t have a data plan on my cell anymore. BTW I don’t read feeds anymore. I am all into development these days.

I used UCWeb but i didn’t like its interface neither the rendering was good. In spite of web-pages coming from proxy and inhibition of some content i am pretty much contented with the way Opera Mini is performing.
Another point is Mini being light weight. I have HTC P3400i and have tried both Opera Mobile and Skyfire. Both work pretty fine but the moment i open another tab, Memory low was the warning, but not in Mini.
I contend that opera has indeed brought out a fine piece.

I have worked on both Opera mini and Ucweb, opera mini has a better and clean view, where as sometimes in ucweb i got rendering error.

Blown Away is an understatement.

It is also important to remember, before comparing, that Opera Mini connects through a proxy. Many sites, which encourage not-so-legal mobile content downloads are blocked by our overzealous operators.
Plus using a proxy also allows Opera Mini to get page rendering right, since it becomes aware of the image dimensions without loading them.

Opera itself has had tabs for a long time – in Opera Mobile.
Btw, once again you can’t compare N900 with Opera Mini. N900 is billed as a mobile computer which runs on Maemo 5(Linux). I am aware of Fennec. Once again a fair competitor to Fennec would be Opera Mobile and Safari for iPhone – not Opera Mini. In fact Opera Mini can’t do many tasks Opera Mobile can – like rendering AJAX pages.

Not sure about UCWEB being faster (tests seem to suggest otherwise), but I had tried it and removed it as it screws up rendering of pages badly. If you don’t care about rendering you can stick with Opera Mini 3 which is faster than Opera Mini 4.

Don’t want to bug you mate but i know atleast two browsers that have tabbed browsing.

Firstly, N900 features a mozilla powered browser with tabbed browsing. But even before that, UCWeb, which i claim to be the fastest J2ME browser, has been dishing out tabs for almost over a year. It can easily handle 7 tabs on the slowest of phones.

As for the other features, N900’s built in browser gives you all those features(password, gestures, visual history)in an extra smoooth package. You should see their video.

Nothing beats opera Mini 5 in it’s looks though….that’s for sure.
