Hi just want to know which is better? And opera is free to download, but is it an ad-ware? And works fine?

I haven't used Webviewer for a long time but on the P910 I would suggest the internal browser over Opera since the internal browser now supports the jog dial for moving between links and selecting them providing much better one handed browsing capabilities

personally, I don't add software to my devices unless they are far superior to the built in software. why waste precious memory (even if you use duo pro)?

Thankfully, I don't think they've really developed much "Ad-ware" for the pxxx series. Mostly because people don't like things that waste their bandwidth and money. I personally use Opera, which has worked really well for me, but have never heard of "Webview" and have just assumed that it was the in-built browser.... If that is the case, Opera is definitely better.

Sorry I meant Webviewer from Reqwireless. Saw it on Handango...
I had a looked at opera web site, and it stated that 'register to remove the ad banner'...what's that ad banner?

Opera also makes browsers for Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows. Their desktop browsers run with a thin strip of Google adds at the top of the screen. If you run the browser in free mode you have to put up with these adds. To remove the adds, you have to register the browser (buy it).

However, Opera for the P800/900/910 is completely free. It doesn't have any adds in it, and is far superior to any browser I have used on a handheld device. Opera is generally considered to be the best browser for mobile phones and, some would say, also the desktop. I haven't used the browser in the P910 since I have a P900, but I seriously doubt that any third party developer makes a mobile browser even remotely in the league of Opera.

@danielwong

I believed you were looking at Opera for PC not for phone. You can get free Opera for PC, but if you pay for it you will not get pop up adds. I have no problems at all with Opera for p900, as long as ads-banner is concern.
