Apple actually approved this, very surprising.

It should be a bit faster on 3g but the real gains will be noticed on EDGE.

I have Opera Mini on my Nokia phone. It's not bad at all. Sometimes it does just crash for seemingly no reason.

I'll have to play with it, first when I click on the app it seems slow to load up where data on safari when I click the app is there as it comes up. 2nd the views really take some getting used too and getting your settings right for views. I don't think is gonna be for me, safari works just fine for me.

I've been using it on my Blackberry for quite a while. Another user on this site recommended it so the forums show up better than the Explorer on my BB.

I was trying it out last night and at first, I didn't like it. I still don't know if I like it better than Safari, but it's definitely became faster than Safari when loading web pages over Wi-Fi..
I've been using it on my BB for a while now, so we'll see if I keep it on my iPod Touch.

I've already replaced Safari in my dock with Opera. I'll likely never use Safari on my phone again.

I will try it on wifi when I get home tonight (can't log into the network here at work), so far just tried on 3g and it is not better than Safari on 3g IMO!

I'm using it now and it seems to be flying, but earlier, not so much. I still need to test it more before i know just how good or better it is.

That was my problem last night. It wasn't going that fast, like at all.. So I re-installed it and now it's flying.Bigred1995 wrote: I'm using it now and it seems to be flying, but earlier, not so much. I still need to test it more before i know just how good or better it is.

Do you have in your settings the Mobile View and the fullscreen options on or off?

If you're using Opera Mini on the iPhone/iPod Touch, beware of security risks.
