BTW: One of my "inside" sources emailed Opera to me yesterday afternoon; Opera is cool, blah, blah, blah, whatevers.

Been playing with it -- it does a very nice job of what it's supposed to do. But the end result, still is a web page is not meant to be read on a PDA unless you have to. I never thought I'd say this 2 years ago, when I first started using WAP, but WAP pages actually work better for info you need on a small screen.

Try to log onto this newsgroup with Opera. It has all the info, without the need for scrolling, but it is very difficult to suss out easy navigation.

That is true-- it does a very nice job of what it's supposed to do. At times, you still have to decipher the contents of certain websites. Sites with multiple frames are not well supported. WAP pages work better, for info you need, on a small screen.

But, I should note, that this Opera is the first PDA browser (that includes all Pocket PC and Palm) that will allow me to log onto and use my Bank of America Online, and not get thrown off the site.

Yay!

Yay! www.hotmail.com works. I'm actually able to login to check @msn.com mail.
