I personally LOVE the Opera Browser. I havent had much luck installing or running minimo and I am a devout fan of firefox. But Opera has been nothing but good to me. All pages are arranged smoothly for vertical scrolling and it has a nice status bar so you know the progress of your page loading.

Opera - recommended!

Thanks, I'm a fan of Firefox too, only browser I used on my PC. I'll try out Opera for my phone. Thanks again!

Are we talking about Opera or Opera Mini?

I tried both Opera and Opera Mini. Opera is better than Opera Mini, but is Opera worth an extra $29?

Minimo wouldn't install for me. I have a WM5 Smartphone, so I assume Minimo is only good for Pocket PC.

Oh yeah, Opera is well worth trying over Pocket Internet Explorer.
PIE is better than nothing but it still bites.

i don't know if it's just me but i think PIE loads pages hella slow. when i use minimo, it's a lot faster at loading pages like myspace.com. i've also noticed that when i try to go to howardforums.com, it doesn't load. it works with minimo though. haven't tried opera yet cuz i'm pretty happy with minimo. tabbed browsing rules!

Which phone and version of Opera are you having a problem with?

For Opera Mini, I pointed the wap browser to http://mini.opera.com, and followed the instructions.

For Opera, on WM5 SP, I downloaded the installer and ran it from a PC over an ActiveSync connection.
