Sadly they will never experience the awesome power of Opera Mobile - its like Opera Mini only many times better.

Well they've got Safari. It's pretty awesome.

They seem to prefer Opera Mini.

...how many of them are still using it?

I was amped for it too so I downloaded and tried it out... utter POS, didn't use it for more than a few minutes.

Well it's better because it uses much less bandwidth, and 3G is expensive. In the USA you get unlimited 3G with your iPhone. I used to use another browser that used bandwidth compression, Mercury, on my iPhone.

I'm not at all impressed with opera on the iphone so I'm curious as to the number of people who still use it.

I have to agree with you on the sucky user experience part. Opera Mini is great on keypad phones with QVGA screens. However, when you ramp things up to nHD touchscreen phones then Opera Mobile is miles ahead.

Opera Mini's built in RSS reader is awesome. It's the only reason why I haven't switched to another browser on my phone, yet.
