So I can't decide. With Opera Mini I see every picture posted, and video links, but no smileys. With BB browser I see all smileys some sigs about a quarter of posted pics. What would you do. Pics > smileys?

Opera mini most of the time, but I use both.

Looks interesting, can you just switch between opera and the regular BB browser quickly?

Two different apps.

Two different apps.
so you can be viewing two different pages at the same time? if so, does it slow it down at all?

I don't think you can. I have to back out of one to get to the other.

Opera mini is more widely used and does a great job. Everyone else is catching up, google is the nearest to being able to compete.

Unfortunatly I'm just using the internal drive space in my BB and its almost full, but when I get a memory card I'm checking this out

They're dirt cheap, now. Go for it.

Sounds like you need to upgrade more than memory.

When I had my curve, I used opera mini. But it was the original curve. Now that I have the bold, I use the regular browser.

The new bb browser has nicer, still not mobile safari but at least it appears as if rim is trying.

I use Opera Mini for 99% of my bberry internet. The only time I use the RIM browser is when I'm downloading and installing apps.

also you can use both apps at the same time, you just need to switch between them - alt and enter key (kinda like alt-tab).
