Blackberry Browsers?

I recently gave up my Treo 700wx for a BlackBerry Curve on Verizon. I don't like the RIM browser and have been using Bolt. Does anyone have suggestions?

I tried Opera Mini on my Bold 9700 but didn't find it much better than the Blackberry browser in terms of speed or quality. Also locked up a couple of times. Another frustration was that with the Blackberry browser you can multi-taks and switch apps, whereas I had to close Opera Mini if I wanted to go read e-mails etc. So, I've deleted Opera Mini and reverted to the default Blackberry browser.

My understanding was that RIM were developing a better browser themselves so I'll just look out for that I think.

RIM are indeed preparing a much improved browser and it's launch isn't that far away. The demo's of it seem to retain a Blackberry look and feel, but improve usability, speed and rendering.
