So i beleive Opera Mini is also for Samsung users, and all users that like to check some emails and a few other things but don’t see any advantage on having a PDA or something like that …
Why shoid I use a PDA when my cellphone does everything I want from a PDA? And, BTW, one of the reasons I chose Motorola was exactly to avoid Windows and Symbian…
OK, OK. I guess I was unaware of the market share of non-Symbian/UIQ/Windows/Palm-but-more-than-simple-call-and-SMS phones. I thought that most smartphones were one of those four, and all of them can run the full Opera Mobile (which is really, really great, by the way, and which will get AJAX in the next version).
Noori: Symbian isn’t a PDA OS either… or, more precisely, it is just as PDA-like as you want. Are Motorola high-end phones (that is, able to do more than talking and SMS) that different? I admit I’m pretty unfamiliar with them; I’m a Symbian (and ex-Palm) guy.
I’m sorry, my reply must have been somewhat confusing…
I know that Symbian isn’t a PDA OS, my PDA claims where a reply to Rui…
I’m all into Smartphones or “almost smart cellphones” instead of using a cellphone and a PDA, because, well, why should I have three devices (phone, PDA, music player) when I can have one that does all those things?
Now, in the phones area, I _chose_ not to use Symbian nor Windows because I don’t like them.

Ah, OK. I fully agree with you there. Though, to me, having games is more important than a music player. Fortunately, there are great emulators (Spectrum, NES, GBC, etc.) for Symbian…

I actually like Symbian. It’s not perfect, but at least it’s not obviously a desktop system shrunk into a cell phone (cough Windows cough). And you can’t beat it in terms of available apps.
However, I don’t like to be ignorant about anything that interests me, so I’ll probably ask a friend of mine to let me play with his Motorola for a while, to get myself familiar with it.
Opera Mini == Java Mobile (J2ME/MIDP), thus runs in most devices (e.g. all Vodafone live! devices).
Opera “full” runs on Symbian and Windows. But who cares about those? (the Symbian market share is in the single digit, and the windows is (fortunately) neglectable)
By the way, why wait for the iPhone when you can have Safari (ok, WebKit) already today in any recent Symbian device ?

Because opera mini works on allmost every mobile in the face of the earth …
For those who do not like Symbian nor Windows, like me, a browser that only works there is… well… a non-solution.
Yes, but ANYONE who uses a phone for anything more than talking and SMS has Symbian, UIQ, Windows or Palm… right?
Wrong
I use my phone for a lot of other things, including browsing and using an SSH client, and I don’t using nothing of those… Motorola user here 
Hmm, so Opera Mini is only for Motorola users…
Anyone else can get the real thing.

Live and learn, I guess.
