i been using Opera Mini for a while and it has its ups and downs .. so i guess recommendations would be cool to other fellow 800 users

so i guess ill start

Opera Mini
Skyfire 1.0 (when opera acts up)

i also tried that new Mach 5 app and thought it was pretty cool features like switching to different pages (iPhone like slide)

Don't mention it. Hope you like your Pro. I'm gonna hold out before replacing my 800w. Gonna see how the Pre does after a month then decide.

IE with the download liveseach cab not the OEM one. Skyfire for complex pages that demand it.

I used Opera Mobile for a long time because it renders everything so accurately and when reading blogs or forums it will wrap the text so I don't have to scroll side to side. Then I used Iris and Skyfire for a little while before I switched exclusively to Skyfire for about 3-4 months. They're 1.0 update was huge and the speed was the major factor in my switch. I just installed Opera Mobile 9.7 and will be using that to see how it works. If its just as fast as Skyfire I'll probably switch again. I've tried Bolt, and a few others, but there just isn't a single browser that can handle everything. I still use PIE quite a bit for sites I know that detect the browser and change the layout.
