i have a p910 and the SE browser can't load hotmail page or my webmail.
I downloaded opera and it works but I was just curious if others have the same problem. is it some limitation in the SE browser?
Also, i seems that opera uses more battery than the SE browser, is that true?

Without doubt, opera is a much more capable browser than the built-in one. Its miles ahead in terms of its capabilities. This message was posted from a Nokia

Yup,

the SE browser cannot run Java, whereas Opera can.

The battery issue is probably because people spend more time using it than the built-in browser!

*but* you have to pay Microsoft a tenner to get pop access to hotmail (not a bad deal really, think I might go for it)

You can't access hotmail from any browser other than Internet Explorer, either from a phone or a desktop, M$ are wankers.

I can access Hotmail from my Mac using the Safari, Firefox, Opera & Mozilla... although I can't disagree with your second point!

Well I'm happy to stand corrected - I'd like to know how tho - spoofing the user agent to appear as IE?

EDIT:
Bizarre, I just tried Firefox to get into Hotmail and it worked fine, What I should clarify however is that you never *used* to be able to get into hotmail through any browser other than IE, I presume that the same changes they put in to support other PC browsers also applies to mobile browsers.

Sorry, but i have to disagree with both points. I check my hotmail several times a day on my S710 with the Java-based Opera-mini browser. I log in directly via hotmail.com. This message was posted from a WAP device
