Re: Opera Mobile 10 vs Skyfire 1.5????

no opera mini 5? crushes both imo

but between those 2 i would go with opera 10, while skyfire is awesome and can play flash and finally has (w)vga support, on my phone the zooming is PAINFULLY slow making it all but unusable

Re: Opera Mobile 10 vs Skyfire 1.5????

Both mobile 10 and the new skyfire are good. I find myself still using 9.5 though and skyfire more. I think it will speed up since everyone has been using it at the same time which probably crushed Skyfire's servers. lol. for quick browsing, Mini5 beta2 is great.

But to stick with the theme, I would say Skyfire. They are really making great improvements to it. vga support for one, better video clarity as well.

Re: Opera Mobile 10 vs Skyfire 1.5????

I guess out of the 2 slow browsers, I chose skyfire b/c of its capabilities with flash. however, both are slow- Skyfire being the slowest.

I still rather use Opera 9.5 or 9.7. Opera mini beta 5.2 is the best for the TP2 though, IMO.

Opera Mini beta2 is leagues above both of them terms of speed and overall usability.

you can always remove inline editing and use the keyboard that comes with your phone..

but i definitely agree with everyone opera mini 5 beta is the on a whole diffrent level then these two, speed is exceptional
but, like others have mentioned skyfire is a bit faster, and should increase in speed when less people start using it...

I use them both but I use OM10 more than skyfire. Their strengths should be obvious.
