Opera Mobile vs Symbian browser

There have been a lot of videos comparing the symbian browser to the iphone. I'm using opera on my n95 8gb and figured that it's much faster (even faster than the iphone's safari). But since I dont have an iphone I decided to compare it to the default browser.
Check the video for the results!

ps. all done on a 8M/b Wifi connection

y to even compare these browser...

symbian browser supports flash where no other phone no bullshit iphone have it...

opera also dont hav it...

Now nokia comes with touch ui, so browsing is more easy.

@thecolspot

this is a very old video!! (2 years!) symbian didn't have flash back then.

And i agree, touch UI these days is better, but not good enough... I really like nokia (still use my n900 everyday) but am really thinking about switching to a Desire Z one of these days... nokia just doesnt cut it anymore. (hardware AWESOME (n8/e7) but software is just a little sluggish compared to the rest..)

[cuberob]

very true, maybe ill do a comparison video between opera mini / symbian browser / skyfire mobile browser / desktop browser in the near future.

Symbian browser has native flash 3 support now N95-2 v15 so I think it outweighs the rest :P

[cuberob]

yeah, since not too long thats my main reason to start using the symbian browser again. Im eagerly waiting for opera 9.5 though!

iphone sucks:)

[updteh]

Yes because the coolness of a touchscreen browser/device brings without any doubt iPhone on the top AMIRITE?

I need a phone, a gaming device a camera and handy appliations, I'm glad I bought my piece of crap since I don't have to kill it and myself to unlock it into a SEMI functional telephone, not to mention they make you PAY yo upgrade it to a bugged and not working firmware (see 1.13)...

@cuberob I think the 1/2 of the price will fill software up!!
