Opera Mini or Pocket IE
Which do you like better for your 6700 and why?

Have you been able to get Opera Mini to run on the 6700? I have the IBM JVM installed (first 5.72, then 6.0, now 6.1). I can install opera mini with the emulator.exe, and right after I install it, it works well. Nice program.
However, if I exit Mini and then restart it, all is not well. I cannot enter and go to a URL. I can type in the URL, but when I try to view it with the Mini browser by pushing the joystick, hitting OK, or whatever, instead of the browser doing its thing, the "enter text" dialog box opens. No matter what I do, I cannot go to a URL, or a bookmark, or use the browser. Somehow, the joystick push is getting mapped to the wrong character, or something.
If I uninstall Mini and reinstall it, all is well, the first time I use it. But the second time, same problem.
So, by default, I prefer PIE.
Anyone have any clues what might be wrong?

Hmm, I figured Opera mini would be better seeing how it had the PPC 6700 listed as one of the phones it's used on.
Installing the cab for Opera mobile right now. I'll post with results.

Whoaa... is right... it definately loads pages better and shows the animated gifs nicely. I'll be scoping it out until the trial runs out but $24 to me is a bit overpriced... All software for a ppc should be $9 tops.

I looked at the Opera web site, and it appears that the Opera Mini is not supported on Verizon's 6700 according to this:
"Note to North-American users
Opera Mini is available to all Sprint and Cingular customers. Availability for T-Mobile customers is dependent on the subscription plan. BREW-enabled phones, including Verizon, are currently not supported."

Opera Mobile all the way... It works on far more sites and supports far more than PIE..

Am I doing something incorrect? I get some kind of .jad file and my phone can't seem to read this. I want to try out Opera mini.

I posted this before I knew about Opera MOBILE. It's much better than Mini. Get Mobile. It's flawless. I do agree with Jerz though, seems a bit over priced for PPC software, but I guess they have to pay their developers and it probably took a good while of testing/developing to get it this good.
