Which version of Opera do you use and why that version over the other Opera versions

I use opera mini 5. It BARELY uses any data at all. It has the option to veiw everything in a mobile web veiw and also to shut off all images super easily! I never have any data overage charges

yea that would be a concern since you're on big red, but not on sprint.

Mini 5 is Java free

I'm using Opera 9.7 because it seems to work the best with the double tap resizing/reflowing and/or the magnify slider. I have tried Opera 10, Skyfire, and PIE (or whatever IE is loaded on the phone) and none of them handle the resizing as well. Opera 10 would not reflow right at all and I did not have fine control of the sizing - very abritrary. I was quite dissappointed as it looked like I would have quite liked it.

I got banned from the myOpera forums for making that same post.

opera 9.7. the zoom slider is a must.

I could never get opera 10 to just "work right". endless amounts of frustration. why do I have to go into the options menu to zoom when I have a zoom bar right there? wtf?!!

I agree the zoom bar should work... but the "zoom" in the settings is for you to set the "default" zoom setting for double tab.. i have mine set to 200%, then when i dbl tap the screen, its zooms in dbl.. you can set it higher and lower... but its not meant to be an option to "zoom on demand" as your using it...

again, keep it up guys!! your ALL leaving good info and reasons for your choices

mini5 because its simply the fastest at loading pages.

I like that mobile ten handles some flash. the start page and responsiveness is good too. at first I missed the zoom bar but now I like how zoom works. I do have to switch to another browser for some flash. also I hate that the browser doesn't fool most sites into showing the full version. desktop view and flash are my priorities so that's why no mini.

Opera 10. It feels more solid than 9.7. I always click the wrong link because 9.7 pops into fullscreen mode just as I'm clicking. Also the visual tabs and speed dial I find very useful. Plus the icon is really nice, haha.
