Is it possible to download Opera Mini for Xperia X1? Then i click a download link on opera mini site, it just pops up some java logo and message like for ever "plaise wait".

What to do? Or maybe there is some other browsers, cuz IE is total suckass and Opera Mobile 9.5 doesn't work very well yet. ;/

Opera Mobile is slow and loads full pages. What's the point to wait to load full page if Opera Mini can compress it first on the server and then load 2MB page like 150kB, so it's 10 times faster, but capable to display PC like pages.

Opera Mobile isn't bad on Wi-Fi, but with slower 3G network Opera Mini is the winner, cuz it's 10x faster.

Opera MINI optimizes pages for you phone on their servers, before downloading to it, so instead of 1MB page, you got only 100kb. So it's almost always ten times faster.

You can try to load same page http://www.topzone.lt with other browser, it'll be alot bigger than 87kb

Guys, c'mon.
Opera Mobile 9.5 loads full websites but at the same time gives dozens of features Opera Mini will never have!
To name main: Copy from text, tabbed browsing, flash support, advanced components display, better bookmark handling.
These browsers COMPLIMENT each other but cannot be used instead.
P.S. Yes, Opera Mini gives great zoom in/out, like Opera Mobile 9.5.
