thx

i think that the preinstalled browser is good enough and this is the reason why there is no opera on the memory card,like in some other Nokia Series 60 devices... its supporting wap,html,and java script,its fast and good enough... 😃

I would advice you to try out the other browsers than the original Nokia one. I use Opera on my 7610, and compared to the Nokia browser Opera is quite a bit better (both faster and easier to used, and renders pages better). I also recommend using the Opera accelarator, which is a tool that compresses and optimizes web pages before they are sendt to Opera. This saves quite a bit of monet if you have a "pay per mb" phone subscription...

By the way, if you buy Opera - do this through the Nokia software download pages:

http://www.softwaremarket.nokia.com/DRHM/servlet/ControllerServlet?Action=DisplayDevicePage&SiteID=nokia&Locale=en_US&Env=BASE&resultsPerPage=10&deviceID=6630

Buying Opera only costs 9.99 Euro through these pages! Thus Opera is cheaper than Netfront 3.2!

Good luck!
