Don't get me wrong I am generally not an IE fan; I use Firefox on my desktop and laptop, but I gotta say that IE Mobile really is very good. Most of my family and friends have also made the switch although we were exclusively Opera 10 users up until the last year or so.
But like I said, my everyday browser is Opera Mini; just can't beat if for speed and it works well on 90% of the sites I hit regularly.

I also keep IE around on my desktop as well for the exact same reasons (I prefer to use the desktop version of Opera). I already figured about the reasons you stated for IE Mobile, but I was actually trying to ask why you were using Opera Mini vs Opera Mobile. Even tho they both use the Presto engine (I'm pretty sure that's right) I've found fewer rendering issues with Opera Mobile.
www.dell.com was one off the top of my head, it would never zoom out for me on Mini, but is fine on Mobile. Speed-wise, I really can't tell the difference, plus I just like having to option to turn off Opera's proxy.
Anyway, I wasn't really questioning you, just curious if there was something I was missing between Mini and Mobile. Can't wait to try out your updated version! Keep up the good work!
