is it possible for my E72?
E72 is Symbian, there are Opera Mini (Symbian native) and Opera Mobile that do the same job and are free, too.
(1) The browser's navigation is not smooth.It stucks at times.
(2) The UI is definitely better but an option to alter the font size would be appreciated.
(3) The browser is unable to maintain a continuous connection even though other browsers (like Bolt) can.
(4) The search and URL bars would be better visible on selection if they are outlined with white border.
(5) The search could definitely be improved by allowing users to add their own search engines (Something like Opera Mini)
(6) The ad on the top of the start page is a dealbreaker.Put your ads somewhere else (or kill them entirely.We don't like ads)
(7) Apart from loading bar,please show the amount of data being downloaded and to be downloaded.
(8) URL selector would look better if its corners are round.
(9) A better support for CSS is recommended.Design is the pride of some sites and it is painful to see them rendered mercilessly (take care of paddings and margins especially.)
It's not a good browser. Very slow...

i don't like to try this in my n97 mini... Because, i see the above users commands.. I'm using uc browser.. Its very nice and easy to use... it is just like a personal computer browser... It save the pages in both notepad & html format.. i recommend u all to use uc browser.
it is also better than opera mini browser
