Opera Mobile 10 vs Skyfire 1.5 video review
CareAce.net have published this video review of the two leading browsers on the Windows Mobile platform at the moment, who both recently received a face lift.
In some ways it is a wash, with Opera Mobile looking nicer, but Skyfire being slightly faster. Of course Skyfire still has Opera Mobile beat when it comes to full flash support, something will come to Windows Mobile only with the release of Flash 10 for Windows Mobile soon.
Which browser do you prefer? Let us know in the comments below.

Hmmm, it seems to me that while Skyfire appeared to load faster, it only loaded part of the page, where Opera took longer but loaded the entire page. I HATE getting that checkerboard pattern on Skyfire, to me it makes Skyfire seem slower, which is why I prefer Opera.
skyfire
i use opera for browsing and skyfire for watching videos. Skyfire seems to load videos faster while on slow wifi connections than my native flash player. I have a nokia e71 and it allows me to have both apps open at the same time. Skyfire is crap to browse, it doesnt resize text so if you wanna read stuff on the net and have a small screen you are doomed. Skyfire videois nothing to write home about anyways, choppy as hell, but For now it gets the job done, and its not like ttheres any alternative.
