    IMO:

    Opera:
    Pros-
    Speed
    Tabbed Browsing
    Speed Dial
    Interface looks Nice
    Cons-
    Cannot select where to type or edit sometimes
    It clicks if you touch something, as opposed to actually clicking it
    Does not keep zooming when you click
    Just hard to use in general

    Native Browser (BB Browser)
    Pros-
    Easy to use
    Use of BB button
    Easy to select text
    Great Bookmarking/Google search on Home Page
    Easier to use in general
    Cons-
    Slow on some sites
    Looks very boring
    Bolt:
    I have not used yet


    I would like to know everyones favorite and why so I can decide which one I should pick and stick with.

    I've tried earlier versions of bolt and opera, but i always come back to the native browser. it may be slower, but it works best unfortunately. :/

    Opera:
    Pros-
    Speed! (rendering and going forward and back)
    Tabbed Browsing
    Speed Dial
    Interface looks Nice
    Easy to use
    Smooth scrolling
    Great Mobile view formatting (autoscales well)
    Saves Passwords
    Syncs with Opera bookmarks
    Has a useful download manager that works in the background


    Cons-
    Cannot select where to type or edit sometimes
    Limited zoom capability
    Scrolling is not fast
    Is not detectable as a BB device
    Links sometimes circular reference (not real often)
    Does not animate gifs
    No flash capability
    Does not allow suretype in portrait for web addresses


    Native Browser (BB Browser)
    Pros-
    Scrolls smmothly once rendered
    Can zoom in and out very well
    Great Bookmarking/Google search on Home Page
    Easier to use in general
    Animates gifs very well
    Cons-
    Slow, especially any full site
    Looks very boring
    No flash capability

    Bolt:
    Pros-
    I have not used yet
    Some flash capability built in
    Works very well on full sites (ESPN Fantasy Cast)
    cons-
    Scrolls very clumsily
    No zooming
    Not the most accurate link selection (has a goofy arrow)


    Bottom line, I use Opera 5 beta 2 all the time. Its very reliable for me, and it gets the job done. The rendering, and speed are the most important thing.

    I agree. I hate some things about Opera, like the selection and zoom. And I don't like that when you open some links on your device it uses BB Browser. (maybe I don't know how to make it default browser ?) But it is MUCH, MUCH faster. I hate that both BB BRowser and opera both default to mobile view on a site, can't view some stuff. Frustrating. But overall, Opera gets the job done like you said.

    If I have a problem I need fixed I would do that, but whats the point of a forum if you just look at previous posts for everything. And i'm interested in new opions, with updated browsers, not old opinions....

    Opera Mini 5 Beta rocks. Once you get use to the interface it is much better than the native BB browser. Very fast.

    My favorite is the native browser, but the Opera 5 Beta 2 is soooo much faster but harder to navigate.

    Exactly how I feel. I love the interface on BB Browser, but not a fan of the speed lmfao

    When will Opera come out of beta? Opera, Bolt, and native are all poor. I'm looking forward to the new native browser and hoping that it will be much better and faster

    native browser. bolt and opera seem a little fancier but they don't work as well as the native one.
