Hi all,
Which is better Opera Mini (free) or Opera Mobile (not free)?

Opera Mobile for Symbian is a joke, and the latest version 9.5 has been rumoured for so long, it's now little more than a myth (despite occasional interim status updates)

Mini is where it's at, if you're OK with proxies and non-native app limitations, otherwise the native Nokia browser on S60 is the way to go.

That seems to be the strategy Opera is adopting, making the Opera Mini browser an alternative to S60 rather than a direct competitor.

A lot of people use both S60 and Opera Mini, as they both have their own respective strengths.

I agree. Nothing beats the mini as far as speed is concerned, but there are certain kind of scripts / functionalities on some websites for which you definitely need the S60 Browser.
