Hello,
After 4 years of using the HTC Tytn I finally got around to buying a used X1 from eBay.
One thing has really annoyed me, even though the phone itself is a lot quicker than the ancient Tytn - Opera mini was not.
Today I discovered why. I had opera mini 5.0.3521 BETA installed on my Tytn and the newer 5.1 FINAL release of opera mini on my X1 - The difference?
The beta version loaded the swedish news site www.svd.se in a matter of a few seconds on Wlan where the FINAL version of opera took some 10-15 seconds. It seems that the beta version starts showing the pages a lot sooner (after 25% of the site is loaded or so) giving you the possbillity to start viewing the site more or less instantly.
Has anyone else noticed this? I'm seriousley considdering using this version instead of the final version even though the final version is a lot smoother in looking around at the pages when it's finally finished loading.
For those of you who wanne test the beta version (again), here's a download link:

Like many others, I was too late for the Deepfish beta (got the cab, couldn't activate)
Came across this little item on a news article and am about to install onto my shiny black ROM. Says for WM5, but will give it a shot anyway:

Anyone else got this/ssen this?

Tried it, more like Mini-slow.
erm - you know what, you're right.
What a pile of poo - google wouldn't even load properly!
I used opera, but it wasn't too much better.
Now I've got PIE plus from www.reensoft.com. lets you do tabbed browsing and more.
I agree
I've tried every single browser out there. Minimo is by far the slowest with loading. I didn't even try out all of its functionality because I couldn't handle how slow it was going. One nice option is the beta version from Opera. Right now you can download it without any limitation on the time you can use for and it's free. Give it a shot. I guarantee that you will like it more than Minimo.

The Opera 8.65 beta expires on June 1st.
I think the opera beta plays on for existing users.
picsel browser
I have just starting using Picsel Browser which has been extracted into a cab file from a samsung win mob 5 phone and is floating around on the internet (i had to brave howardforums to get it). I think its excellent, has the same graphical premise as deepfish, but with plenty of other features.
Also make sure you don't miss my UPDATED Web Browsing Bible ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=301009 ); now, it also contains a Picsel review!

LOL... No ****.
memory eating
Is it just me or is minimo somewhat memory heavy?
This is a beta of the new browser from netfront. It lets you use touch movements. Kinda like Safari for the iphone. here is the linkhttp://www.access-company.com/products/netfrontmobile/browser/35_wm_tp.html
I am loving so far.
Enjoy
Was released quite some time ago. Yes, its better than any other browser including opera.
I even wrote a video review here.

I think the whole company is dead - or gone to a totally different distribution model. Can still download 3.5 concept version, but nothing else.
Can't find any commercial versions to buy anywhere on the web, either.
They seem to have gone into partnership with NTT and only make for OEMs now, mainly Linux OS's. Real shame if we can't get a WM5/6 version. It's the best browser out there at the moment with some great functionality.
If only the concept version had plug-ins enabled then I could live with that version. 3.4 was also great until 29 Feb when it's timebomb activated.
I now see that Opera 9 was actually better. Only bad thing is that, at the moment there is only a VGA version. Works awesome on Athena. Since there is 128 MB RAM in Athena, I can't really comment on anything about Opera's memory usage. Maybe I'll try having a deeper look at it sometime later. Opera will win ofcourse.
HTC has chosen Opera too. Their new Diamond is supposed to have a customized version of Opera 9 in ROM! Awesome

I'm using this browser also but unfortunately I can't say it's a great one.

Sure, if it's different than what's on their website.

Update
This info was taken from http://www.trustedreviews.com/mobil.../01/Opera-Mobile-9-5-Release-Date-Revealed/p1
It's the most popular third party mobile phone browser and now its latest and greatest incarnation is nearly here...
In a post entitled "The wait is (almost) over" late last week Norwegian coders Opera revealed version 9.5 of its hotly anticipated mobile browser is scheduled to launch on 15 July. Explaining the wait to eager fans the company explained in its blog:
"Opera Mobile 9.5 will be based on the same browser engine as Opera 9.5 for desktop, and this is the reason why it has taken some time to get it ready. A new version of the browser engine will ensure that you can surf the Web with a browser supporting the latest and greatest in Web standards."
please could someone give adowload link for internet explorer 7 the 1 that is supposed to be in win mo 6,5, i put the 6.5 rom on my orbit and it doesn't have the latest version it's supposed to have. i have checked google and have used the search box. please can someone give me a cab file so that i can update ie and put the new 1 as i really like the new 1 cos its better
...
I am not sure if it is IE7 but on Emrulez's Rom Version 1.2.1 it has an updated version of IE.
His version of WM6.5 is pretty much untouched so includes that and market place.
I think a lot of cooks are removing it as it isn't very good (slow and zoomed view isn't very clear), especially in comparison to opera. Although I don't know why they all put Opera Mini (Java version) on I much prefer Opera Mobile (Specifically made for WM).
download from:
http://www.opera.com/mini/next/download/
This is a WM native version of Opera Mini 5. It's FAST!!! really really fast comparing to the java version.
I installed on Dash and found it runs fine. Not sure which version of beta it is. Still have some bugs, especially it doesn't seem to recognize the '#' key...
Yeah I tried it, it's very good.
There's also an Opera 10.5 beta with support for soft keys.
