    On keyboard devices like the Bold 9650, I have to say I prefer the native BB browser to both the Bolt and Opera Mini browsers. On the Storm 2 however, I prefer the Bolt browser.

    Which do you prefer and on what device, and what ultimately made the decision for you?

    I have had both Bolt and Opera on my bb and got rid of both of them.

    Opera's cursor is WAY too jumpy, it's horrible...everything else on it is fine but I mean come on

    Bolt is a decent browser, I mainly use it to control my yahoo fantasy baseball/football etc when i can't get to my computer but I find myself sticking to the default browser

    I use both Bolt & the native BB browser. it just depends on the website I am going to visit at the time. if I had to choose I would use Opera 4.2 but alas it does not work on my 9630 Tour so I have gone to use bolt.

    I added a poll! I would say answer with the browser use use most, UNLESS you really do mix it up and use multi browsers often. When I DID use opera, it was just very rarely, and just when I didn't like they way something looked in the native browser as a full html page.

    Native Browser for everything.

    Opera is crap on a stick. Bolt has potential but needs more work. uZard is the
    dumbest and most unintuitive browser I have ever seen.

    Graffics on Opera are really nice, sometimes it almost loads faster than the native browser. All in all, I 98% of the time use the blackberry native browser. Its just easier.

    I prefer Opera Mini for browsing and reserve the native browser for the occasional quick search.

    I use the native browser for just about everything. I keep Opera-mini on my phone but very rarely use it.

    I absolutely hate the opera-mini user interface. I vote it the worst user interface of any app on a BlackBerry.

    Opera is ok on a run of the mill phone, but I don't see the advantage's to it on the smart phone platform, same with bolt.

    I use the native browser almost exclusively but have Bolt installed and recently tried the uzard browser.

    I will admit I am somewhat uncomfortable using the 3rd party browsers from a security/privacy point-of-view.

    I agree with AG...and I extra agree that Uzard is the BIGGEST waste of time....I would compare it to dried dog crap ......I use the BB browser for almost everything and Bolt for a few things

    I used Opera Mini 4.2 exclusively on my previous BlackBerry running OS 4.5. On my new Bold 9650, the native browser is a lot faster. I pretty much use it all the time now. If I want to view a full HTML site with a lot of graphics, I'll use Bolt or Opera Mini 5 Beta. The final release of Opera Mini 5 has issues on the new 9650, but the old Beta version works fine. Uzard is OK. It's slow at times. Can't wait for the WebKit browser.

    Native browser is well-integrated into the platform and works quite well for almost everything. I use Bolt only for certain sites that the native browser simply can't render. Netflix, for example, tells me I'm in Canada and will not allow me to view or manage my Watch Instantly queue when I use the BBB, because the RIM servers are in Canada. Bolt, however, works just fine.

    Tried Opera mini 5, wouldn't function right. Tried Bolt, didn't like having a web page header as big as a football field and letters the size of flies. Native browser all the way. Love the bb keyboard shortcuts anyway.

    I gave Bolt a try on my Storm2. NOT touch-screen friendly and lagged when loading pages at 20%. Not willing to try it out on my Bold. Native browser.
