1) No Flash - this is a big, big plus for the default browser, Opera needs it to compete...
2) No text reflow - the 1 tap to zoom is nice, but does not zoom in on a particular group of text, the chosen text does not fill the whole screen as it should, makes for either harder reading or more need to scroll to read all the text....
3) Default text size - the intial webpage is displayed showing the whole page, but while that is nice, it is not practicle, not readable....the font needs to be larger like that in the default browser, so text can be read without needing to zoom everytime...

I love the progress so far, and will keep it...but without Flash, it will not replace my default N900 browser anytime soon.
The 'full page on start' is one of the things i love in this browser. I like the fact that i can see the page as a whole, see which part of the page I want to read (Normally titles are larger then content) and THEN zoom to a size that is readable in just one click!.

After you are ready from your read, all you have to do is Tap the screen again to get back to the full page view and see if their is any other articale you want to read. This is absolutely brilliant.

Also, I think that the absance of flash might be one of the factors for which the browser is so fast and responsive. If it's speed is due to it not having flash, I would rather remain without flash at all. If that is the case, maybe an option to disable flash when / if they ever enable it would be a smart option.
