So it would be a better choice to go with the free mini rather than the mobile on the x51v?
This all depends on several things (do you need Flash, your Internet connection speed / price etc).

I'd say if your conn. speed is either expensive or slow, OM4 is by far the best solution. The same if you don't really need Flash or copy/paste capabilities.

Don't be misled that Opera recommends OMobile the most for PDA's - after all, they have to generate income, too - and OMini is free, while OMobile is commercial ;-)
