    I like the OEM browser. I would suggest downloading both and trying them, they are free. This is a personal preference.You'll get a lot of different answers, but there is not much difference in the way of functionality.

    i hate them. OEM seems much more faster, imo. Using Bolt feels dirt cheap awful, Opera Mini feels just too limited in browsing the interface. it highlights everything you hover over, and its annoying.

    He's right - what have you got to lose? Personally, I tried both Opera and Bolt, and thought that neither was any better than the OEM Browser, and in many ways much more difficult to navigate through.

    Opera and Bolt are way overrated......

    Opera is much faster.

    Bolt works better.

    That's the quick and dirty summary. OM has a lot of restrictions like bad page formatting sometimes, images stop loading after a certain point, etc...

    I agree. I like the results of Bolt much better but its just too slow on my 8330 compared to Opera.

    I've tried Opera mini and Bolt multiple times
    on my storm. For me? i like Bolt alot better. I'm still
    pretty new to the storm and crackberry so sorry if
    i have biased or stupid answers :P.

    I personally think Bolt has better responses and-in my opinion-
    a bit faster then opera. When i tried opera, i hated typing in
    urls and basically anything because for some reason it switched my keyboard to multitap. Theres probably a way to change it.. but like i said im new so idk. Plus, i hate my web pages in mobile form... i like it full just as i am when i surf the web on my comp.
    Bolt has everything full out haha XD
