    Not sure if its just a problem with the UK market, but I can still only see the beta for Opera Mini.

It feels like a very competent mobile browser which is good; however the built in browser feels like a limited desktop browser - and even a crippled desktop browser wins over a mobile browser IMO.

    I'll keep it installed, but I'll probably only use it when I'm either very low on battery or have something to do that the built in browser just can't cope with (like unicode text entry).
