Ha! I was thinking the same thing.
I'm also a hypocrite.

Here's why from my point of view:

- Render page better, faster, both normal and mobile mode, especially in mobile mode

- Caches page so I can travel back and forth up like 10pages without slowdown

- "Save page" feature is like super bookmark it don't need to load at all, you can save them for time when you got no data connection, and perfect for page like Google so you don't need to reload them again

- Enable unlimited size file DL at lightning speed (lightning enough for a mobile device)

- Easier navagation. Scrollball/Keypad is direction. Page up/down feature... Etc

- "Search field" feature allow you to add custom search field to quickly search for something at a site (they provided google as example)

- Feed feature, although not as good as Viigo but still very doable

I'm sure there's a few more but I'm kinda busy now lol

I like Opera because I can practically go to any web page there is. With blackberry browser that isn't the case. However, I am using 4.3 on a Curve, so I don't know what advancements the browser with more recent OS versions have. I also like that the Opera web pages look the same as they do on my desktop. The only thing I like about the blackberry browser is that you can enter information into input fields without bringing up that all white screen that you have to type into using Opera. Aside from that I prefer Opera Mini.

i am on the internet most of the time in my case, simply cause i have nothing else better to do ^_^

i have found that the bb browser is very limited ... especially with java pages
for example, i am in college and i have to check my classes and such on the .edu page of my college. my problem with the blackberry browser starts here.

First: the page rendering takes a while, compared to Opera's. many times i find myself waiting a while just for the bb browser to request the page ...

Second: the website is a javasite, everytime i try to access it, i come up with a blank screen or the browser crashes and (rarely) it works .... with opera, you can view pages like that, they just reload the whole page when you click on lets say a drop-down menu, but hey, its better than a "maybe it will this time" ...

Third: when i put the bb browser on Page View, it ... kinda looks ... retarded i must say. i understand that the bbs arent perfect, but sometimes things are off in the page view ... wih opera, i say, it is a very good replica of a computer view.

but i do with that opera eventually can make their browser a default browser. and also what would be extremely cool is if they can make a way to use the Wand like in the Opera Browser ... that would be so cool!!!

No need for setting. Just press number key 1

Here is some useful shortcut key

** fullscreen
## forward
#3 page up/down
#4 bookmark
1 mini menu (mode swtich, open picture)

The "1" key shortcut doesn't work from start page on my bold, thats why I didn't bring it up, on the other hand, app key does...the shortcut key works once you navigate the browser to a website, atleast thats the way it works on my bold, i can't remeber if it was like that on my curve...none the less, it's simple to pull up to change to mobile view.
