I've used it and it falls flat on its arse compared to Safari on the iPhone IMO. Safari is *made* to be on the iPhone so it feels like it and integrates with everything else on the iPhone. Opera Mini cannot do that.

Opera Mini can't do that because Apple won't let them release it for the iPhone, FFS.

Opera Mini does everything Safari does. It renders a page exactly as it does on the desktop and uses zooming to view a certain section. It also did this well before Safari did.

How does it fall flat? What specifically was better about Safari?

It's up to Opera to garner business relations with smartphone developers/manufacturers to have their browser run seamlessly.

Apple has no business case for the iPhone to offer Opera Mini.

The iPhone is an Appliance. It's not a desktop/laptop/workstation.
