also check out opera mini.
I haven't tried out skyfire for symbian, but it was worthless on windows mobile so i'm gonna pass on it. Can't wait for an opera 9.5 for symbian.
I like Opera Mini. I doubted it at first, tried it out last week, and now I love it. NOt as feature rich as the Nokia browser, but it's great for just casual browsing or checking scores, etc. I still use the Nokia browser here and there but for most of my usage, i use the opera.
Much much faster, maybe not as nice to look at as the nokia browser, but I like it in a pinch!

its best for forum browsing cause to go back a page its instant cause its loaded in temp memory. nokia browser reloads which is slower.
but the single best thing i like about opera mini is the 2 Page up / 8 Page down / 4 page left / 6 page right. i cannot understand wy nokia has not made similar shortcuts, cause there are the most useful when browsing on mobile devices.

+1 for Mini, Dont have an E71, but yeah the mini is super-awesome. I've used the opera mobile browser for years n the mini makes it look like a drowsy elephant. Thank God n the developers that its free!
