The current Beta2 realy is resource hungry. As great as it is to use on 5800xm, its slower and and just bloated compared to Opera Mini5 beta2. Opera need to get their act together on Opera Mobile,how is it that UCWeb's S60 version is so much more frugal both battery and memory wise yet can still load web pages beautifuly to fit the screen?

Might I suggest the competition ...

Bitstream Bolt Browser v1.6
(no tabbed browsing, yet)

Sure it has most of the bells & whistles that Opera Mini 5 can do.

1. Copy and Paste text from Web pages into forms or Webmail.
2. SmartBar auto-completes URL entries using information from previous browsing sessions (history) and saved favorites. (folders can be created and saving viewed sites into them)
3. BOLT displays a pop-up indicator in the Title bar if the browser detects a pop-up window. Users can choose to open or close the pop-up window with one click.
4. BOLT enables dialing phone numbers displayed on web pages directly from the browser, via a single click.
5. BOLT seamlessly enables users to download web content directly to their device’s OS, or to upload photos or videos directly from BOLT to media-sharing sites.
6. BOLT offers three image quality modes and significantly reduces data transfer sizes in low image quality mode.
7. “Feeds” is one of the main tabs in the BOLT homepage. As users surf the web, BOLT automatically looks for the feeds on each site they visit. If feeds are available, a feeds icon is shown in the Title bar, enabling users to subscribe via a single click. BOLT supports XML web feeds in RSS, ATOM and RDF format.
8. BOLT supports 6 magnification levels, Small, Medium, Large, XLarge, XXLarge, and 3XLarge.
9. BOLT’S patented split-screen mode features a rectangular magnifier floating over a zoomed out minimap of the entire web page on the top 2/3 of the screen and a real-time magnified view of the content under the magnifier on the bottom 1/3 of the screen. (this takes some getting used to but think of OM’s minimap on steroids!)
10. Proprietary Bitstream mobile fonts and font rendering technologies improve readability, speed content delivery, and enable BOLT to fit more information into smaller screens. (I’m still trying to find more fonts)
11. Desktop and Mobile viewing. [Points directly from Bitstream]

Notes:
A very interesting Press Release informes that 1 in every 6 BOLT users were from India.
[May 29, 2009] Also consider the fact that several mobile companies have been launching their handsets in India along with their global launches and in some cases even before the global launch. Recall Sony Xperia!
For the five of you uninformed who do not use BOLT, it is the first mobile browser that allows even basic mobile phones to play videos on websites such as YouTube,vids.myspace.com, video.yahoo.com, blip.tv, dailymotion.com, metacafe.com and more. The BOLT mobile browser is a free web browser for J2ME phones that renders web pages exactly as they are displayed on personal computers.

PS the screenshots are the specific version for BlackBerry (but it works in portrait mode as well for SE phones).
I don't know if there is an underground tweaking community or not though.

For me right now the OMv5B2 is limited ... I couldn't download a 130MB file from SoundCloud (a music compilation), but Bolt worked ... this was on my Bold 9700, a smartphone based on Java.

Occasionally I am finding Opera Mobile 10 Beta 2 just stuck and do not respond.
At the same time if I am trying with SE's own browser, same URL just works like a magic.. comes up quick. Anyone facing same problem ?

Yeah, I find that if the site certificate is out of date, Opera takew an age to do anything until you 'accept all'. Kind of annoying, but doesn't happen too much.

Kind of prefer the Skyfire zoom at the moment, but I still prefer Opera Mobile in general.

Beta3 is out-check 1st post. Been using it since yesterday on my 5800xm, its a lot faster and stable than Beta2, still a RAM guzzler,but not as bad as before. UI has been tweaked a bit as well, overall its looking good.
NOTE: When replacing Beta2 with Beta3 you WILL lose your bookmarks,so back them up before installing Beta3.

flash support ?

I am not installing any browser that does not support flash.................also the other server type browsers that do support flash do not play video like utube properly.......freezing etc, now if the youube app would allow it to fill the screen then it wouldn't matter.
