But whenever i use wifi connection, I will choose the built-in s60 os9.2 web browser coz it shows better images and capabilities :) I can say….i m using pre-paid line, so, if I want to use 3G, EDGE or GPRS connection for browsing on my N82, I will use Opera Mini coz it took less KiloBytes means less money being cut-off my credits.

The interesting and amazing thing is that lots of people still say it's their number one browser. And I have to say: it's mine as well.

As amazing as <a href="http://www.operamini.com" rel="nofollow">Opera Mini</a> is, it's <i>not</i> a smartphone browser. It's a <i>normal mobile phone</i> browser. Opera ASA's <i>smartphone</i> browser is called <a href="http://www.opera.com/products/mobile" rel="nofollow">Opera Mobile</a>. It's only been released for Windows Mobile, S60, and UIQ, to be sure, but Android releases are planned. Blackberry and Palm users can only use Opera Mini, true, but hey, the iPhone can only use Safari. Minimo is in <i>preliminary development</i>, there hasn't even been a beta. Opera Mini at least has a 4.1 beta, although Opera Mobile 9.5 has no beta out yet. Also, why exactly does Safari not fall in as part of the WebKit category? Because it supports AJAX? Opera Mobile has had that for 2 years, in addition to things like Flash, which the iPhone Safari doesn't have. “There are many mobile web browsers featured on various smartphones, but which are worth the most attention?”

You missed a lot here. 1. Mozilla's Minimo is NOT the mobile browser Mozilla is working on. They said that over and over again. They stopped working on it, it was an experiment on how things could work. The mobile browser Mozilla's working on is called "Mozilla Fennec". 2. There are at least two projects I know of that try to get Webkit to the browser: http://www.torchmobile.com/ http://www.wake3.com/ If you're doing an overview of mobile browsers, do your homework. Articles like this are something I'd expect from Techcrunch, not GigaOm. I’m sorry but this is kind of lame. You missed a lot here.

Windows Mobile does not have much to choose from at all. Opera Mobile is the best I've tried so far (can't find a JVM for WM5, so the free Opera Mini isn't an option.) Minimo is promising, but development is painfully slow. Minimo .2 is slow and unstable, and sucks up just about all available memory to run. I would love to see some development on Minimo, which has been stalled at .2 for close to a year now.

It will render practically anything, any flash, javascript, you name it. I'm in the beta now, and it's not without it's flaws (can't edit multiple lines of text, can't copy and paste, etc), but the horsepower is impressive.
