    Seems like as long as you're running S60 you might as well just grab Opera Mobile. I'd say that the "now not featuring Safari" would be a plus for me, seeing as how I can't stand to use the desktop or iPhone/touch versions.

    I find the S60 safari better than either version of Opera on same qvga phone and better than IE on WinMob.

    What other mobile browsers are there?
