877434 2010-04-17 11:39:00 iPhone 3GS, v3.1.3 (7E18) - on XT, not that that is particularly relevant. Opens in sub-second on this beast... Blisteringly fast swapping between pages too. A bit weird on the zooming though, as lagbort mentioned.

But how do I make it my default browser!!! Or is that something that Apple would have put their figurative foot down over?

You cant. It was surprising that Apple actually allowed it in the first place.

877436 2010-04-17 12:04:00 all this talk on iphones make me really want one. But I only just bought a new phone. nedkelly (9059)
877437 2010-04-17 20:13:00 If it's anything like Opera Mini 5.0 on Android... then it's much better if you're working on a slow-as-hell GPRS connection, but otherwise the other browsers available leave it for dead, in both usability and speed.

This is the story I have heard, something about opera mini actually going through operas own servers.

It does - that's the way Opera Mini has always worked, on any platform. The rendering is done on Opera's proxy farm, and the result is sent to your phone in a very compressed, custom format that requires almost no resources to display. It was basically designed for feature phones too slow and useless to render HTML on their own.

877439 2010-04-18 21:31:00 Just tried it again this morning. Insanely fast compared with Safari!! Posting from it now.

Unfortunately I couldnt hit the "Remember Me" button, but Opera doea offer to remember your password which is nice :-)

Edit boxes like this one dont seem to have the autocorrect feature which is a shame :(

877442 2010-04-18 23:17:00 Yeah coz Quick Reply doesn't work terribly well, then again neither did the full reply. Might just be vBulletin + Opera Mini combination.. Chilling_Silence (9)
