Who needs an iphone, when opera makes the web just as nice on any phone with java. Great work!

Browser: Opera/9.50 (J2ME/MIDP; Opera Mini/4.0.8993/58; U; en)

On my HTC-XDA phone it's quite readble (but the display is 640x480).

Having just used opera mini 4 beta 1 on a w810i for 2 months and beta 2 for a few days I can say that opera is doing a fantastic job. However, having just bought an iPhone on friday I can tell you that I am not going back to browsing on my w810i. I have also used opera mini 4 beta on a blackberry, Samsung A707 sync (3G+) and a motorla ic902 (3G). There is no comparison between opera mini on any of those phones and the iPhones ease of browsing and integration.

You may find that the iPhone does not meet your needs, in that case Oper Mini 4 is an excellent product for most phones. Having used both I have to declare the iPhone a winner in browsing in my experince, YMMV.
