I recently flashed my n800 tablet to os2007 bora and internet browsing is so much faster and more responsive with the old opera browser. For large websites page load times are almost the same as microb from start to stop but opera just renders the page much sooner and let you read while loading. For simpler pages like forums opera is just much faster all round. I dont have to wait for everything to load before scrolling or clicking links. Text input using the screen keyboard is better in os2007 as well.

Only drawback is javascript engine on opera is outdated and some pages will lock up or just not work. Fortunately os2007 lets you use microb as well for the odd webpages that dont work in opera.

Quite dissapointed that they did not make much improvement to the moziilla browser. I feel the underlying engine is too resource hungry for the internet tablet.
