I can't say it's the best web browser. I think Bolt is the best HTML browser while Opera is the best WAP browser. I'd still take the default BlackBerry Browser over both because it does great in both HTML and WAP
I've used all three, if i'm looking for speed then I find that opera is great. But I usually go with the native browser, mainly due to the fact that it's a hassle in either bolt or opera to change the domain to a mobile version, and most sites and blogs I visit automatically do that for me with the native browser.
See, different people have different approaches and likes/dislikes!!! My favorite is Bolt. For me it feels closest to the PC experience. I use Opera for browsing CB forum or the CB launcher.
I almost never use the native browser - Bolt is my workhorse.
And for me the native is the best by far and also the fastest (especially since .545). I use Bolt but rarely and I tried Opera but had to delete it since I really don't like it. To each their own.

Yesterday I upgraded .545 (went smooth, no hiccups, battery pull for BBuzz as usual before I could see mail in BBuzz options) and I see a WORLD of difference when using native browser.
If you havent already, try the .545 OS upgrade, I'll bet you notice an improvement.

Been there done that and no improvement what so ever.

I had my doubts about opera, but after getting used to it I can say that I'm never going back to the original browser unless RIM makes some improvements to it.

I have yet to go back to the native browser as it is painfully slow on .330 through T-Mobile. Might be faster if I did a different OS, but not feeling that at the time.
Bolt is my workhorse and is faster than stock and simple to use, especially since DL 2.0 with tabs like Opera5 has. Opera5 wins as far as layout and speed goes, but is too buggy for me. I will go to post something and won't post it and will have to do a battery pull to fix it and 10 minutes later it acts up again.
Looking forward to webkit as the native browser really is the nicest out of them all, however is way to slow.
Since .545 I've mainly been using the native browser with Opera as my back-up for links from twitter and facebook. The OS update actually made the native into a decently fast browser.
Before .545 I was using Opera as my main and hiding the native because it was too slow.
