Opera's iPhone Browser Is Terrible

Not a very in-depth review.

The consensus seems to be that if you're ever on a really low bandwith connection, or you need to watch your usage because you're roaming or whatever then it's great.

I think people are confused and think they're running a platform that lets you replace the main browser. Instead you can only complement it which, e.g. in the situations above, Opera clearly does.

Yeah, to be honest, I think that the reason that Apple took so long in approving the app is that they were too busy rolling around on the floor laughing at it.

Sadly I completely agree with this. Slow, clunky, and I feel like my phone took about a 50% haircut on speed. . .
