I love Opera Mobile, used Opera Mini as my browser of choice on my old N97...now has the chance to be the same on my N900....but....
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.

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.

You can set Mobile View in settings and if you want text reflow and no zoom
The way the default N900 browser does text reflow is perfect, the selected text takes up the whole screen without the broswer changing the layout or design....
Where using Mobile View, means the browser changes the layout and presentation to make it faster, condensed etc for mobiles....but I preder viewing websites as they were designed, so you can access all the intended features.

An exmaple being when I am reading news websites, I scan the headlines, and only read those that look interesting....with this, the text is to small to easily read the text/headlines...so I have to first zoom, and then scroll....an additional step not required in the default N900 browser....
Having said that....to appease everyone, maybe it would be nice to have available in the settings the ability to remember preferences, such as font size, and default zoom level.....that would solve everything.

anyone know how to change the google.com to .co.uk
I've looked in the .opera folder which is where it's held on the desktop version but can't find the location where it says google.com

Take this thread for example....
Double tap of a post, and it wil not only zoom in the text, but the text will perfectly fit from the left and right sides of the screen....
Then as another example, zoom out, then double tap on a quote within this thread....it will then zoom in on that quote, and not the original thread like the previous example
So its not just zooming in, but also focusing in on the text you have selected, making the selected text fit perfectly from left to right each time
