Opera was essential on 4.3 and lower and is still somewhat useful for the few sites that won't work in the BB Browser, but most people really can use the 4.5 BB Browser as their mail browser. And the nice thing about using the default is that it's integrated with the rest of the BB, all the shortcuts work, etc. Opera's always been a stopgap solution.
And, Gonzy88, I love the icon. You're the first Crackberrian I've found who loves Angels & Airwaves (My ringtone is "The War").
cool ive known this for a while but did not know about videos becuz i dont really watch them on my curve. and i agree the browser on 4.5 is quite handy and very good in my opinion. after i updated i did not redownload opera.
