For those of us that are having issues with our trackpad and Opera Mini, I have great news. The Bolt browser that I installed last week, today did an upgrade to ver 2.10. It now loads pages at an amazing rate, like greased lightning! Kinda reminds me of going from dial up to cable dsl. Gotta give it a try. Way to go Bolt!
It seems to be faster now. Scrolling in zoom feature is still slow
Overall it's faster. This is good news if I decided to upgrade to the 9650 if and when VZW ever decides to release it.
bolt browser is great. I was a big opera user but its not functional on the bold with the trackpad. Im glad there is an alternative to opera. Il stick with bolt till opera gets a fix.
Based on the positive comments here I down loaded Bolt and, it is a nice browser but, it has some issues. The track pad seems to be sticky in some areas of the screen near click-able links and data boxes. The browser freezes up loading pages and I get a number errors when loading pages.
This is the only app I have added to the phone and while it has a great look to it and is faster in general it has some glitches that add a clunkiness factor IMHO.
I just downloaded Bolt as well and love it. For the person above, here is the link to download Bolt onto your BlackBerry - Bolt Browser - Download. In specific, type http://boltbrowser.com/boltbb.jad in your browser on your blackberry and the download is easy from there. If you have Wi-FI, it downloads in like 30 seconds. Hope this helps!
Perhaps I should be more specific.
I mean saving your bookmarks in regards to synchronization like in Opera Mini. If you install a new OS or changes phones with Bolt, you will loose all of your bookmarks and favorites you have saved. Opera Mini allows you to create a backup account that allows you to synchronize all of your bookmarks. If you happen to get a new device or new OS, you can pull up all of your old bookmarks to your new device.
Bolt doesn't offer this feature. Therefore you would have to start over from scratch.

I agree. Bolt is my main BB browser now on my 8830. I spent 3 hours browsing on Bolt without a crash whereas Operamini v5 crashed and lost the trackball control after every 5-10 minutes browsing (it happened multiple times).
One minor issue I had with Bolt is when I browse a Vietnamese website, Bolt does not render the text on webpages correctly. I think because Bolt lacks Unicode fonts. If Bolt allows adding unicode fonts then it's a perfect browser for me.
