WOW that's indeed fast!

It's great that it´s not just a "normal" Java app anymore, that seems to have improved the performance immensely compared to the previous beta. It seems even faster than skyfire, although of course, it doesn´t have skyfires audio/video capabilities.

Overall pretty awesome, allows reaaally fast browsing.

However, given the fact that Opera Mini (like skyfire) has to use Opera´s Proxy servers for compression etc. and therefore is not entirely save for anything involving passwords, banking accounts etc., you have to have another Browser (Opera Mobile, e.g.) which renders sites on the device itself.

It would be great if they could integrate Opera Mini´s browsing speed into Opera Mobile. Theoretically, the "Turbo" function should do that, but in reality, it doesn´t :(

update: anyway, to download, just use "m.opera.com/next" with your phone´s browser.

Loading speed is about as fast as skyfire but the scrolling speed is brilliant in Opera Mini.

Not all pages are shown perfect but it s ok.

I´ll give it a try.

opera mini is perpect for browsing over a slow connection

even on EDGE it's still very fast!

Start up time is extremly fast (under 1 sec) so the perfect browser for "googleling" something fast on the go

very very quick, feels like 10x faster than opera10 ... too bad it doesnt doesnt have a smooth scroll like opera 10, but other than that its so quick who cares, big improvement over the previous mini, very happy, it can only get better from here, big thumbs up for the opera team <_<

It´s working really fast. In my opinion the better choice than Opera 10 beta 3...

The only reason for staying with Skyfire is the full flash support.
