Nothing really. I've used both on a regular basis as there are a few sites that do render better on Opera. However that said, it's really just a matter of personal preference. I'm an advocate of the BB Browser as implemented on the 81xx and 83xx models. It's great and does a fantastic job of allowing me access to blog, post, and enjoy PinStack.

The BB browser on my Bold offers additional functionality, but the downside is that it will not render the PinStack forum threads in a usable manner. Thus as long as I'm using my Bold, it's pointless to try and enjoy PinStack. A very unacceptable result in my opinion.

The only thing I use Opera for after upgrading to 4.5 is for some of the more advanced functionality on facebook, and that's actually very rare.

I'd like to remove it to free up the space, but I know as soon as I do ill come across some site that ill need it for.

I think of it as my browser contingency plan.

I use Opera Mini in the very same way and it serves me quite well.

I like the shortcut buttons more in BB broswer. T = top, B=bottom, G, D and A also. Though I like opera's E=page up more than BB's shift + spacebar. Wish I could customize them in both.

I hate opera's full page for text input. Like I'm gonna write a book for google searches or userids.

I can't figure out how to add search engines to BB browser, but can in opera.

I love speed of operas cached history, why doesn't this happen in BB broswer?

Opera has nicer full site rendering.

BB has nicer mobile site rendering.

Can't delete the crap default bookmarks in BB.

I like how BB browser types a dot (.) When I hit space bar when typing addresses, this speeds it up for me.

BB browser did not allow me to access certain dropdowns from print sites I purchase from....frequently. Opera mini doesn't limit me in the same fashion. I did the OS upgrade, but I haven't returned to the native browser. I guess I'm a creature of habits that work.
