Opera mobile or skyfire??

I am very , very new to the whole window based phone. But I am excitedly awaiting delivery of my new tilt today. I have read over numerous sites as well as pretty far into this forum but see different opinions on each of these browsers. Like I said I am beyind newbie and will mainly just use this phone to browse the web. If someone could just give me their opinions on each one of these browsers in relative lamen terms I would greatly appreciate it. I have also seen some good things about the microsoft browser but opera mobile and skyfire seem to have the best reviews. Like I said I am mainly just looking for a fast browser but please let me know why I should choose one of these over the other. Also I know that there are 100 threads to this question but feel free to let me know of any other applications that would definetly be worth my time. P.S. THIS SITE AND FORUM ARE AWESOME!!! And I have learned a ton over the last few hours but like I said I have found a lot of different sites that give different opinions on each of these browsers and haven't really figured which one to go with.

I normally don't bother to read the privacy statements of programs and sites I use, just too lazy. But someone said that I really must read the privacy statement of Skyfire.

It is at:

Skyfire: About, Privacy and security

It absolutely is a "MUST READ" before you think of trying Skyfire.

This is Skyfire's own statement of their privacy "rights" if you decide to use their program.

I am not saying don't use Skyfire, I am saying you owe it to yourself to read their privacy statement before you decide to start using it.

Since, I got Skyfire I don't worry about other browsers. I use PIE for secure surfing. Tried Opera 9.5, I hate Opera so I wasn't impressed with this. They announced this long before Skyfire and they still don't have flash. You owe it to yourself to sign up for the beta. If you live in a 3G area you can watch Youtube and Streamed movies perfectly.

Could you summarize what you think is bad in this EULA? I just read a EULA today and I'm too burned out from that one. It said "Do not use this software while operating or working with nuclear control rods". LMAO

Funny to some, but as a nuclear engineer myself I plan to heed this warning
