between opera and bolt browser trying to see what is a more user friendly browser?
IMO it really depends on what model of blackberry you are using. On my curve or my wires tour I like bolt...but on my storm bolt does not run properly. So in that instance I use Opera. Truly and honestly I use the native browser most because it is the easiest. Rim will soon be updating their browser...it just taking more than we would all like. 5.0 has tabbed browsing on storm and rumor has it that RIM is developing new browser that supports flash player. So truly it is a matter of opinion.

These threads come up from time to time. I even started a poll on this topic awhile back.
Bottom line is kudos to Opera and Bolt but the bottom line is there really isn't a better browser than the native browser BlackBerry hardwires into your device.
Sure people are going to pop up and claim that Bolt does this or Opera does that but the reality is neither are as good on an OVERALL basis as the native BlackBerry browser.
I prefer Opera over Bolt, but each one has somerthing different to offer. Like others have said, the native browser is still best.

Yup, I think it's more a personal preference because sometimes one of the two will work better on your particular phone.
That would up to the user to decide, now wouldn't it? :p
Personally I prefer the BB browser. Just tried Opera the other day and Bolt some time back. I really have no need to view full pages on a hand held device. With Bolt you end up side scrolling and Opera has some sort of annoying magnifying feature....not for me.
Maybe if I had a phone with a larger screen.
also i prefer BB browser, Opera is not for Bold or any BB yet, have many unnecessary feature i experience some connection problem, It is much better to have simple one with simple menu. So at the end i will advise stay to BB browser.
All the best Lucian
I use Opera Mini almost exclusively. I use Bolt for my banks website. To me the stock browser is pure and utter garbage. It takes forever to start up and is slow in browsing. I love the magnifying and text input on Opera as well. It is purely up to personal preference. Try them all and make up your own mind. If you do a search you will find a ton of threads as this comes up several times a day.
Bolt ftw nothing comes close to it yet!!
