Sweet! :D Now if Samsung could release a fix for the Java client that constantly asks for connection permissions! :(

It's way fast on my sda...much faster than PIE (and I am using the latest QTEK rom with the faster PIE)

I wish Opera were written using Windows code (C++, .NET code, whatever) instead of Java. Of course, I really wish Firefox were running on the SmartPhone. Now that would be nice!

Yeah, I'm not big on the Java look and feel. I would rather have a native application.

There is an Opera mobile version that is not Java. I have use it as well, but something about the Java Opera mini just seems much faster in use to me than PIE or Opera Mobile.
