Playing with Opera these past months is quite impressive and worth the cost. Compared to NF, it is faster, and the only application that is capable of viewing all my company websites.
I do have one issue...
On one particular page of my company site, I am viewing what appears to be HTML characters in place of tabs, ie., the characters " " continuosly appear instead of blank spaces associated with normal keyboard "tab" function. Is Opera searching for a particular font set from my PPC and substitutes the " " for the missing tab spaces?
Other than this, I am waving toward Opera as my new browser, however I will wait for the NF upgrade to become a trial app instead of a beta app.

The current (1.06D2) version of NF is also advertised as trial. (With some bugs I'll elaborate on the Opera Mobile 8.6 article.) Knowing Access' rate of bugfixing (not very fast - they, for example, still haven't fixed some really painful HTTP protocol level bugs I've reported almost a year ago... The Opera folks are orders of magnitude more repsonsive, bugfixing-wise.)
Yeah, I saw the announcement on here last night. I'm just wondering if it is really worth it. That's kinda pricey for a pda web browser.
If you take into account that for example MultiIE, Webby Pro or PIEPlus also cost between $15-$20 and all of them use the slow, incapable PIE/IEM engine, the $30 for Opera Mobile isn't that much...
well the text blacking out bug (x50v wm2003se) is still there in the final version... Which is a shame as if that was fixed i'd have purchased my copy today.
In the abscence of that being fixed I'll either end up buying NF3.3 or PiePlus.
But it's probably going to be Netfront because of the VGA support

1) If it makes the internet thing $30 dollars better then it's money well spent
2) Yes you can.. you just have to edit a couple of filrs
3) the desktop version was commercial until earlier this year...

Is the 8.60 much better than b2 for WM2003SE devices? Of all days, I forget to bring my sync cable to work. Grumble... have to wait till I get home to try this out.

that is much harder to do than changing a registry entry I don't wanna beat down my flashrom with that,and there are much better ways to spend $30 than on a web browser.
