The Bold will have an HTML browser. How good it turns out is yet to be seen, but I am sure it will be much better than the current. It may not be a Mobile Safari killer, but it will be a full browser.
I've been using Opera Mini for the past 2 days since I finally got installed - seriously better then BB browser. At least OperaMini will render more pages correctly and more readable
Thanks all for the info on Opera. Its awesome! Never even thought of using it till reading this thread...glad I did. This is a BIG improvement over the native browser. Took all of about 90 seconds to get it installed too. Thanks!
well the default browser is fixed in .46 but still no full browser....and opera mini is ok but I love the default browser, guess i got used to it.
I agree, I really don't get the opera mini love.
I mean, it's a good program with some good eye candy, but for me it doesn't touch the functionality of the built in browser. And it's definitely not as fast.

Do you care to elaborate? What functionality does the RIM browser have that Opera Mini does not?

Opera Mini fetches all content through a proxy server for one. that is great from a speed perspective and being able to view certain pages (because the proxy server preformats it for your phone), BUT try pulling up cnn.com or m.cnn.com and see where you land
many things that Opera Mini will allow you to do, such as online banking, are not secure end-to-end... which sucks.

Your profile says you have a curve through verizon, but this is posted on Opera's website.
