I use the latest hacker edition, which fixed some of the bugs in Opera but not all. The random crashes in Opera annoy me. The piss-poor media player doesn't play much of anything, unlike mplayer. These are some of the reasons why I won't be replacing my Nokia 770 with anything else from Nokia. I want a device that isn't dependent upon a vendor for its main software. This is why I like the ASUS eee. It runs standard applications like Firefox and Thunderbird. With my experience with Opera on the Nokia, I doubt I will use any device that has Opera as its main browser. The people behind Opera should be embarrassed. Why can't I just get Opera updated, or the email client? Why does the whole device need to be flashed? This is why I won't buy Nokia again. -------------- next part -------------- begin:vcard fn:Karl Bellve n:Bellve;Karl org:Biomedical Imaging Group;Department of Physiology adr:2 Biotech, Suite 114;;373 Plantation Street;Worcester;Massachusetts;01655;United States of America email;internet:Karl.Bellve at umassmed.edu title:Assistant Professor tel;work:508-856-6514 tel;fax:508-856-6514 x-mozilla-html:TRUE version:2.1 end:vcard
