But I do like the ability to zoom with finger gestures.

“When you view a Web site, you’re looking at the full page that is shrunk down to fit the size of your display. Nothing is missing. You can focus on what interests you by tapping on the screen and zooming into specific sections of the page.”

Slow to load …. and it froze a few times but I think it has promise. We will see what the next version brings.

Will I still use it? I’ll play around with it but it won’t be my go to browser yet.

Works better than anything else out there other than opera mini. Better than opera beta and way better than skyfire, skyfire is the slowest browser I have ever seen.

To be fair it didn’t do anything nasty to my Kaiser… it was just slow and clunky.

Thanks Jay & PsionAndy for being the guinea pigs. I was interested, but now I’ll just hold off… i had a bad experience, similar to your, with minimo and I’m glad tobe spared from another bad experience.

eeeewwwwgghhh…. it’s slow, clunky and horrible… Opera Beta is soooo much faster and does a better job of rendering pages

I had a lot of problems with it. it typically killed my device and I would have to reboot the BlackJack II. But that was 3 months ago or so. Is the a new release?

Great post Jack. Has anyone else tried this one? I found the Opera Beta to be way to slow. I want something more snappy. Thanks.

I just tried it out… so far, I think it’s pretty sweet.
