At least it won't crash 666 times a day like that wretched SOB Safari does.



Most people think Safari is impressive but Opera Mobile on a proper RAM-laden system beats it to pulp with mutlple tabs, flash and NO CRASHES at all.

Disagree ,it doesn't crash 666 times a day. It may crash once in a while but other then that its okay
anyhow , Opera Mobile isn't that impressive. I've it in my WM device.  It hogs soo much of RAM that the entire system comes to a halt. Sorry to say that. Opera Mobile may have flash and other cool stuff that you don't get with safari however it hogs RAM a lot which does make my system unresponsive at times.

Edit : I forgot this is in a Windows mobile territory. I might get bashed by Windows Mobile supporters. Anyway I am in a neutral point of view

No pra I'm neutral. In fact I think the iPhone is extremely good on lots of aspects (especially the music player, of which HTC fails to achieve nicely), but browsing is not one of them.


Opera doesn't hog RAM if you use the correct builds. WM6.5 here on a 192MB RAM Diamond, 45% idle startup, 2 tabs of Opera only bumps it to 62%. I can open up to 4 without any nuclear meltdown.

If you use only 2 tabs (which is all people need for info lookup/reference/easy C-P) I'd have to argue that Opera leads the way.

I assume your WM phone has 128/64MB of RAM. In that case, sorry, you're rather SOL (192/256 gives a radically better experience in not just Opera but a heck lot more apps too) laugh.gif

My rather short experience with the iPhone with Safari has been pretty bad. DeviantART, Ars Technica, and I think either Tech Report or Slashdot crashed on me. Can't blame it too much though, AFAIK the 128MB RAM still shows its limits in the end. Especially with the extra needed animations tongue.gif
