I use either Opera Mini 4.1 or the built in web browser of my Nokia N82 both are very good, I don't rate Opera Mobile at all, not worth it imho.

Re: Mobile internet browsers

I am assuming you are running Windows Mobile? Pocket Internet Explorer is horrible. Opera is a good browser. I am running Opera 8.65 on my SE P1i and it's pretty good. It allows me to render pages normally or wrapped to fit the screen. Another feature I like is the ability to flick scroll similar to the mechanism employed by the iPhone.

An alternative is Skyfire (which is currently in a limited beta, limited to the US) which is showing alot of promise and claims to give you similar functionality to mobile Safari on the iPhone as well as playing YouTube videos inside the browser.
