    I'm having a hard time deciding which browser to use. I am very impressed with the BB Browser's speed on the 8900 right now, but I want to see what the hype for Bolt and Opera Mini is. Can someone please let me know ?

    WHich of the three is the best to have.

    honestly, depends on the websites you browse, they all do different things great.

    ive never tried bolt on my 8320 but i use opera mini for big, advanced websites with forums and such. i use BB browser for more simple websites like wiki and stuff.

    they are all free, so download the 2 and try your websites

    BB Browser! But it does lack in some features, but no big deal. Only browser I use and will always use. With page view you can basically view the pages just the same as Bolt or Opera.

    Bolt and OM are both free download and find out.

    Can't hurt anything.

    I've been a long time Opera Mini user...but since the latest Bolt version came out that addressed the lagging cursor, I ended up unloading OperaMini. Bolt is a great browser for viewing most any webpage.

    I use the BB browser for most handheld-specific sites, but when I want to see a full page...Bolt is my go to browser.

    Bolt is really great for everything, and the BB browser is great for mobile sites.

    I've downloaded Opera several times and can't get it to synchronize. I would love something that makes forum website navigation easier.

    Though I haven't tried Bolt, I love Mini Opera. I find that it runs a lot faster than BB Browser for pages that are image-heavy, but the BB Browser works just fine for mobile-specific sites.

    I think the blackberry browser is the browser of choice its gotten a lot better. I don't need opera mini or bolt to get what I want out of my browser anymore. It supports the full html and a zoom that's all I really needed.

    I definitely ruled out the Bolt after trying it. I've used Opera and BB browser for some years now. I need them both for now. I think down the road, that the BB browser will catch up and put Opera to rest. For now, I have to use both.

    The BB Browser works good for mobile sites. I had Bolt before, and I loved it. I haven't tried the new BETA version yet. I've never tried Opera Mini. Seems like I'll download it...

    For some reason, I keep coming back to Opera Mini. BB browser freezes whenever I try to load big pages and its just to slow for most pages I visit. Youtube is about the only time I use it.

    Opera Mini has been my main browser for some time now. I haven't had any problems with it. I rarely use the BB browser unless it defaults to it.

    Downloaded the bolt browser. While I still prefer the BB browser, between Opera * Bolt, I think I prefer Bolt.

    My preferred choice is Opera mini, have used it for many years now on different phones, nice UI... loads better then Bolt, and I find it much faster then the default bb browser...but that could be due to fact I haven't got an Edge connection on T-mobile in the UK.

    Bolt seems very unpolished at the moment.. plus I need a magnifying glass to read anything on the pages it displays.

    I only ever use the BB browser, when I need to download something or when I have the patience; view image heavy pages....damn I hate waiting for scripts to load, then images to load... so frustrating.

    I keep hearing about this upcoming browser called Skyfire, which apparently will blow all three mentioned out of the water... but then again they said Bolt would do that too...

    I've been a long time Opera user, and I recently switched to Bolt, and i gotta say it works really well.

    Like The Gift said, it seems very unpolished. But then again it is a beta still, and I guess its still in development.
