I'll give you a gaming analogy: if you've got a low-specced computer, playing The Sims might be fine. But if you've got a more powerful computer, you would not want to limit yourself to The Sims when you could be playing The Sims 3.

Ill give you this gaming analogy back:
On a low end computer, you would turn The Sims 3 graphics down, and have the same sort of functionality, on a high end computer, you turn the settings up and get the same functionality of that you would the low end machine :P

But your low end computer cannot play The Sims 3, just like your Sony Ericsson can't run Opera Mobile. If the platform is inferior and cannot support the more demanding software, you can't just "turn the graphics down".

Your high-end computer can run The Sims, just like your new Windows Mobile phone can run Opera Mini... but why would you run either The Sims or Opera Mini when better alternatives are available?

More powerful phones should run the best software available.

Looks nice, although I have no other mobile internet experience to compare with.

Makes sense for Opera to make something decent outside of desktop browsers now that everyone hates them :P.
