Well if you use Opera on other platforms it would be a more “seemless” alternative when using your Iphone.

I just got a iphone and I knew that when I got it that I would not be getting opera. How sad? I love my opera mini and I really really hope that the developers at opera make something for the iphone.

I agree, how can they get away with it? I miss opera mini, I had no idea it wasn’t allowed on iPhones.

I remember when Microsoft got sued by the US gov’t for including IE only when released with Windows 98. They are still be sued by EU right now for the same issue.

If Microsoft cannot get away with it, how come Apple can?

I’ve used just about every version of Opera on winmo up to the one on HTC HD. It has so much flaws compared to Safari you would be wise to just forget it. Although Safari already beats Opera hands down, there are many other options on iPhone which are even far better than Safari. Examples include the Perfect Browser and the Full Browser.

Man i believe that you may “think different”…. The Safary browser works very fine, but it really has several issues. Like the other post say, it can’t show Java apps, and can’t show flash or vídeos embebed in a web page. So Apple have to improve a better web browser, in fact, when they correct the mencionated issues, then we can refer to Safari as a “Real Web Broser”. It dosn’t matter if the product is sold “how is made” the important is the way like Apple think about the people like me, that has own 2 iPhones, the first one, and teh 3GS. greetings from Argentina! Happy 2010!!

Safari works as it should and as designed.
There are issues like resizing and reloading but it does its job.
There no doubt will be improvements over time.Till then we have to wait.
You knew what the iphone did or didn’t do when you bought it, if not shame on you. If you do not like it wait or get a new phone.But stop complaining.

Opera had a browser ready for the iPhone but Apple forbid them to publish it because it was to much a competition with their Safari, they didn’t want to make the iPhone users happy with it.

I love Opera for mobile phones, it just works faster and easyer.

Hope apple gets smart sometime and allow opera on the iphone.
