Anyone?
I got it but it seems to run VERY slow, much like IE. Not sure if I like it or not yet. Anyone else have an opinion on it? I know everyone says Opera Mini is the best, but I just cannot seem to fall for it. Any other web browsers out worth a try?
I'm waiting on Opera Mobile 9.
i tried it once...i was hard pressed to find the diffrence between that and opera 8.5 sa far as browsing goes. but opera is alot faster and more smooth. minimo is a resource hog. felt clunky.
compared to opermini....minimo is nothing.
point internet explorer on your phone to mino.opera.com
install and ejoy.
mobile firefox is coming soon
can't wait for that..
for now, i use opera mini 4
It is really slow ... too much resource usage.
when it runs it will run alone
for now use opera
and may be wait for an upgrade of mozilla
MS Deepfish should be interesting..... http://labs.live.com/deepfish/
Just received an email from Access - there's a new update to the NetFront V3.5 Browser Concept out today.
It can be downloaded here:

I'm downloading now -- wonder how it compares against the latest Opera 9 Mobile?

its fastt!!! love it..better dan 9.5 in my opinion..
hows the memory usage on this version?? netfront is known to be a big memory hog
Well, now I've tried both, I think the latest Opera 9.5 has the edge in speed/memory use. (With auto ram cache/turbo mode & disk cache on SD Card).
So - for the moment, I'm back to Opere 9.5 1123.

Seems to be using between 5-6 MB while it's running. What I did notice, however, is that you can now minimize the browser and it won't slow your system down to molasses anymore. Great!
The clear type font looks excellent, too. NetFront 3.5 has been my favorite browser for quite some time now, and this small update just makes it even better. All it needs it embedded flash support to be the perfect mobile browser.
Amazing Browser...
Is there a way to re-enable the bottom menu and disable SOFT KEYS?
Hi Guys!
Has anyone of you already tested the new NetFront Browser v3.5?
I just downloaded and played around with it a little while and I must admit it's as good as Opera 9.5.
In fact I think it's a little bit better because it works cleaner. It doesn't fill the memory of the Universal in the way as Opera does.
So please try out and post your experiences.
Thanx
Yes, i've tried it too, in my opinion NetFront is much better then Opera, works very fast and with no lag. Other good think is, that it works also from SD card
Yes you're right man
After a long intensive use of Opera I mostly had to reboot my Uni.
And the NetFront is much better adjustable, I think.
i been using Netfront 3.5 form the week it come out and i love it, it's faster and better than Opera 9.5, PIE 6.1, Picsel 1.2 or any other browser i've used. Obviouly it's my default browser, and it's just awsome.
It takes longer than IE to load and uses more memory, but...
It renders *A LOT* better and is much faster and less processor hungry
I'd strongly recommend it if you are doing any web browsing
Can someone post a link?
I am willing to try it, but where?
Gracias

Hi orb3000,
Here's the link for the download:

Cheers
Just been trying this one myself, having used earlier versions of NetFront pretty extensively in the past.
Certainly no where near as fast to load as Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta, but I do think it is faster than PIE (maybe about the same as Opera Mobile 8.65). The upside for me is that it seems to be far more stable than any of the leaked/hacked versions of the Opera Mobile currently around. The downside, and it is a pretty big one for my usage, is that it can only download one file at a time and while it is downloading you cannot even continue surfing. I use my browser quite a lot for downloading mp3s and music clips and this is a big handicap.

Thanks LifeIsAnUpgrade, but I don´t know what is happening, when I click on download cab file, simply does not download nothing.
Do you have another link or mirror?
Gracias!
Well - I have the opposite experience.
I was using the 'older' NetFront 3.5 for *ages* before Opera 9.5 Betas started to arrive, and at first found Opera 9.5 unusable.
But - the latter builds - 1006 & 1123 - have both been great.
I tried switching back to NetFront when the new version came out (and posted in General ), but was continually having "not enough memory" errors from NetFront. I just don't get that from Opera.
So - for me at least, Opera 9.5 1123 is the one for the moment.

Actually, that's the old version, which expires at the end of this month.
Here's the new version, even though I prefer Opera

This one expires at the end of August.

Thanks for the correction man, btw there is no smartphone version right?
I got that from their website, and as far as I know it's the only available version.
Who knows what they're going to do once they actually release the damn thing!

I tried to install the latest version to the smartphone emulator and it starts and look corrupt. Does look OK when placed in fullscreen mode, though (softkeys and menus are usable).
Didn't seem to be able to browse the internet, though it may well be an emulator issue with my local network config.
I like this but I get too many certificate and DNS errors popping up, so much so that I have to use Opera Mobile 9 instead as - much as it is prone to being unstable - it does at least work properly.
i know it was just announced but has anybody gotten the app yet? its supposed to be going out to carriers and oem's, not us consumers(yet). im hopoing someone leaks it quick! or does someone already have it? if so please share
really? were? site? >_> I DONT BELIVE YOU lol
http://www.androidcentral.com/opear-mobile-available-android-you-cant-have-it-yet
somebody has to leak it 1!!!1
apparently chances of that are low... but!!! now theyve announced that opera mini 5 is coming soon!!! anybody have that yet??
I was using Opera Mini 5 beta on WM6.1 and it was good, but it felt a bit too mobile. Every page I went on was loading in mobile mode, an sites with flash never loaded properly for me. I had a slide out keyboard, and I am sure it was a beta issue, but it was forcing me use the on screen keyboard. It was decent, but on a 2.8in screen felt very cramped. Opera 10 beta on the other hand loaded a bit slower to start up and web page loading was noticeably slower. However, web pages loaded more normal for me. That was on WM6.1 on a decently speedy device, on Android things could be a whole different story.
well i think either one, will be the best browser for android so far. mainly i like it because of that amazing speed in loading pages! even 4.2 is fast and i'd use that except the UI is horrible...
Opera mini5 (beta) was the best browser while I was using winmobile devices!
The interface was clever, the way it handled tabs was genius, it was sooo damn fast and the fact that you could go back in your browsing history without the browser reloading the page from the scratch was damn useful. I so hate that on the android browser (well, on actual browsers in general).
I'm really looking forward to the android-version but I'm afraid it won't support the hardware-keyboard of my G1 =(
So, is there any compelling reason to use Opera Mobile 10 over the Android browser? Will HTC flash work with Mobile 10? I can see a reason to use Mini 5 as that is a fast browser, and is fairly light. However, I can't see any reason to use Mobile 10 other than preference.
Well, if Opera 10 should support a double-tap to zoom feature I will for sure use it over the android one. I absolutely dont like those 2 zooming buttons floating all over the content which only appear once I start scrolling.

Sorry not to get ot, but we took care of the stock browser a long time ago, check it out: WWW.forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551119
To the op, this does look like it might be pretty nice, how ever always been happy with the modded stock, or a hero browser. Any idea on what phone is gonna have this as oem firest?
Opera 10 for android looks amazing. if you watch the video preview of it. Right now the best browser for android is the Dolphin Browser though. .. ooh and windows mobile people.. Skyfire is the only way to go.
Which video are you referring to?
Maybe I am not really getting it but what advantage does Opera Mobile have over the Android browser? I loved Opera on my WM device and I can understand using it based on preference. However, with the Android browser working the way it does, isn't it a bit redundant? Or again maybe I am not getting it?

The browser has better support for CSS/HTML/JavaScript...
You can see the differences between the browsers on:
http://www.quirksmode.org/m/css.html
and
http://www.quirksmode.org/m/table.html
Please note that the Nokia E66 browser matches the new Opera 10 beta the most. The other version is 9.5 which is already a year old. I'm really waiting for a Opera 10 release on android, since the android browser has some shortcomings when you want to create mobile websites (I shall spare you the details).
I guess I will have to try it out when it comes outs to see the differences. It's to bad they don't add the proxy features of Opera Mini on Mobile.
is it out yet?! :[

its the speed!!! look do this
go to the market and download the current opera mini 4.2
once installed get a timer or something and go to any website(including this one if you want, just make sure you go to exactly the same page)
time it
now go to the same page with the android browser.
you should see a HUGE speed difference. im not exactly sure how opera does this, but i heard once it has something to do with a compression method that opera uses that makes pages load very quickly!
all in all, i have no idea how opera does it, i just know that its FAST. and definitely faster than the android browser. i really dont care that its opera i just care abuot that speeeeeed!
Yes, I agree about Opera Mini, but I am referring to Opera Mobile.

well supposedly also opera mini is made for any mobile phone? i think. but opera mobile is made spcifically for more advanced smartphones. like you cant use opera mobile on some cheapy flip phone. but you probably could use opera mini on it. i THINK. im probably wrong or idk i dont really care i just want a better browser than the slow android one. either that or the faster 3g from tmobile.. but i think even then the browser would still be slow..
Having tried alot of different browsers through the span of my cell phones I believe Opera Mini is the fastest but it may have to do with the mobile view of the websites.
Dolphin is also very good.. I like that its theme able and its relatively fast.
I'm also anxious in the official release of Opera Mobile 10... it will have other features and will be most likely fix the problem of opera mini loading pages as mobile and not full version as in a desktop or laptop would display.
Hi
I just installed Fennec (FireFox) and it's works okay, but still with some knowen issues. E.g. landscape and hardware zoom still dont work.
It's a Alpha 3, and you can download it her Fennec Alpha3
For me, Fennec browser is too buggy and jerky, i suggest you get opera 10 beta 2u for landscape support and greater stability and usability
I could not agree more. FF is just not very usable at the moment in its current state.
i tried it about a month ago. i think its ridiculous how much memory it uses up. ill use ff on the pc but on mobile i actually like the new ie in 6.5, its fast and light. if mozilla can make ff mobile lighter it might be good but right now its un usable.
Still a Beta
Well, remember it's still a Beta version, so of course there is a lots of things that needs to be fixed - that's why is's a Beta. But i think it's exiting to see what they are planing for the final version.
I still use Opera 9.7 for normal browsing.
I also think that Opera is still the best as for now. But I installed Skyfire (it supports flash) and I found it really luggy when it comes to flash... Just thought I'll share that with you
I've tested Fennec 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 CAB file and al; three works but it works crap. It's to slow on my Topaz.
I use the stock Opera HTC (dutch) put on my device and IE. I've also had Opera 9.7 or 10 on my device but that doesn't work as proper as the stock Opera (guess it's Opera 5). I've allready downloaded Skyfire but I haven't be able to test it, old habbits keeps you using your old browsers.
