+ 1 for opera..

It saved lot of data for me..btw I'm using opera Mini, what's the difference between opera Mini and opera beta?

Opera beta is faster, has a new ui, and has a latest news screen, but its still in beta so has some bugs like random freeze but its very rare, overall its a good browser, oh and it cant handle heavy sites so i use default htc browser as a substitute,

beta is based on webkit engine and will replace the long running opera mobile i guess. and it doesn't compress (like opera mini) to reduce charges or does it?

It was there in public beta too..

I found previous Presto engine based opera mobile was bit faster in loading pages than this webkit based..also there is no zoom option in settings..on the positive note, touch interface is much better now..screen stays stable when u tap n hold to select text or to open that link to next tab unlike previous opera..I wasn't able to do it in previous opera version..tapping n holding on link experience was hell..

@sam: yes Opera does compress a lot & saves bandwidth charges so it it not restricted to Opera mini only.
any other browser which saves data like Opera?

 

[ariftwister]

I still feel opera Mini is faster than opera beta.. Or is it only me feeling like that?
Btw opera saved me lot of data

Anyone tried the new Opera Mini? Webkit-based and truly fantastic, a big Chrome rival.

I think you guys are talking of Opera Mobile. Opera Mini hasn't been updated for a month now

Opera Mini is unchanged, opera browser is updated with New engine
