Copy the cab to your pocket pc and then run it will install
and for the bugs, I have no idea
I have been running it on WM5 and have had no trouble and have done everything possible with it
As far as I know Minimo has been rendering pages twice as fast as IE with a visible difference but that may be only my case

I tried Minimo, and I gott say, I'm a big fan of Firefox, and Minimo is brutal (especially on a VGA screen). It's memory intensive. It takes forever to load up initially. It might be a bit faster in loading pages, but nothing noteworthy, and especially given the limitations. One a VGA screen, the icons are so small, they are unuseable. The interface and controls are also not well thought out at all, very poor. Like, I'm usually pretty easy going, but I can find nothing good to say about Minimo.

The modified version of Opera is hands down the fastest browser by a longshot. Been using it for months now and it's never crashed on me. It cooks on the Ax51v!

I found minimo to be pretty slow as well. The thing I LOVE about it though is that it automatically switches my x51v to True VGA while Im using it. Wish IE could do that.

I may just keep using IE but do the True VGA hack.

netfront 3.0 supports WM5 now. However, it's also a trival version which you have to upgrade it every 30 days

The registry hacks work great! View settings are optional.

As for true VGA, my X50v shows perfectly.

Opera 8.5 is excellent, also handles secure http's aswell, as in web outlook.

They also disable some of the features in the technical review versions, like number of tabs. I liked it on my 2003se and bought it one week before opera came out with their beta . Looks like I'm gonna be out 60 USD before the browser search is over.

One thing I noticed is that if your using wep encryption, you will get way faster pie web page downloading by changing to 16bit encryption.

ive tried Netfront and it is by far way better than PIE.
there are certain sites that PIE just wont show, esp if it has drop boxes they just dont work.
when is netfront 3.3 coming out?? im desperate for a new browser just like you guys are... and both opera and minimo doesnt sound too interesting...

Minimo isn't very good, particularly on the Axims. If you must have a free browser, you might try running Opera Mini in a Java environment. It takes a little tweaking, but it's fast and completely free. Otherwise, go with the Opera Mobile beta.
