    Opera mini in my opinion beats the inbuilt browser, but doesnt support flash. It has a decent interface and really pushes down page sizes, so it works faster and doesn't eat into your data allowance as much. The boards homepage is about 500kb but in opera mini it manages to compress it to <50kb.

    Whatever you do, do NOT, under any circumstances use safari on the somebody elses iphone or ipod touch. You'll never want to use a symbian based browser again.

    Overall, Opera to the Mini, hands down.

    Operas native S60 client is also good.

    I'm after downloading the Skyfire to the PC and bluetoothing the Application installer to my phone....i'm getting a file corrupted error when I try and install it...

    I'm using a E71 so it mighten be compatiable yet, can anyone else give it a try with a N95 or something similial...

    Here's the link, you might have to sign up to access it, just put in a fake phone number and download the pc version....

    Is there any way around that? Could it be the euro/american thing, i'm guessing symbian is the same all over the world and the country shouldn't matter...

    I can watch You Tube no problem but I think that's becuase they have a mobile version of you tube...

    try a site like http://www.milkandcookies.com/ on your browser and see can you get it to work......they don't have a mobile version...
