I am using opera - its pretty cool. So what is going to happen in June 1st? Will my beta copy stop working?

ktvyeow

Most probably that's the case.. we shall find in a month's time.

At which point there will either be a commercial version or beta3

I hope there'll be a beta 3.. not just ready to pay for it yet.

If they deside to sell this version, is there any price speculation?

psionandy

i'd guess it would be similar to the price they charge for the symbian version... and it would have to be competitive with netfront

Which do you think is better? Opera or Netfront? Personally I've only installed Netfront for a few days and didn't really try it out properly. I hard reseted a few days after I installed it and didn't reinstall it after the hard reset. I know there's a big review page somewhere on Aximsite, but I just want a two line comparison perhaps.

I'm torn between the two... Opera probably shades it at the moment but has problems with lonh pages. If netfront would have more than 2 tabs it would be closer

Opera is MUCH faster but, as psionandy has pointed out, has problems with long pages and has some other, minor problems.

In practice, I use Opera b2 most of the time because of its vastly superior speed. It's only with pages that it has problems with that I switch to the latest NetFront 3.3 TP or the built-in PIE/IEM.

I've reviewed Opera 8.5b2 here. Also see the collection of my Pocket PC Web Browser reviews here if interested.
