It really depends on what information you want to access. If its quick sports scores on ESPN or use Mobile MySpace, I use PIE. Banking, I use Opera 8.65 or higher. However, if I just want to browse around, I would have to say Opera Mini is the best that I'VE used so far. NetFront 3.5 is in BETA but looks promising as does Opera 9. series. SkyFire hasn't sent my invitation as yet so I cant comment on it...

I agree completely. I use PIE for Mobile Myspace and Opera Mini 4.1 for just about everything else. I tried Netfront and im not to fond of it, not sure why but just doesnt do anything for me. Im also waiting for my invite for Skyfire so until then Opera Mini has my vote.

Maybe because most of us have been using Opera Mini for the most part while waiting months to get our Skyfire invite.

Re: Best Explorer, Cast Ur Vote!

I haven't received my Skyfire invite yet, so I can't give an opinion on that, but I love Opera Mobile 9.405. I used to use Opera Mini 4.1 on my A900, so when I got my Touch and saw how slow and hard it was to navigate web sites with PIE, I added Opera Mini 4.1 to my Touch. My Jbed version Mini began encountering frequent crashes and would have to open PIE to download files, so I went back on the hunt. I tried Opera 8 and it wasn't much better than Pocket IE, and so I hit the forums. Since I have had Opera 9 I have not felt the need for any other browser, though I imagine like other users I've read posts from, I'll likely end up using a combo of SkyFire and Opera Mobile 9. I like the idea of embedded Flash so I can't wait to give that a try, and I have to be honest this is the first time I've heard of NetFront and Thunderhawk, so I'll have to look in to those real quick. I especially love Opera 9 with the "Limit Paragraph" option turned ON. It makes reading articles and other stuff on the web so much nicer, I don't have to constantly pan left and right to read the content..... GREATNESS.
