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.

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.
