Anyways, is a matter of preference. Each version has features the other doesn't. Both work well, not to say they are perfect but IMHO get both.

Can't recommend purchase with version 9 on the horizon

Cons of Opera Mini:

Opera Mini. Opera Mobile is really slow as willpower101 said it consumes lots of memory and thats a understatment. CNN.com and stuff are slow on Opera

mobile SUCKS right now

Right now Mobile's not strong enough to be worth paying for. Stick to Mini until Mobile 9 catches up to the great interface of Mini, with the added benefits of fully utilizing the actual OS.

I think both work well under different circumstances. Since Mini is free, it really couldn't hurt to keep it installed even if you use Mobile more.
