In a beginning (My first approach to Opera) I didn't understand the difference between them. It was when I downloaded Opera Mini for my Nokia 6300, when I understood.

I've never had a device to test Opera Mobie, but someday if a I get one, it will be my first app install. (Let's Hope it is a Nokia N97 or so)

Meanwhile, I'm very happy using Opera Mini. I use Twitter with it daily at a very very low fee! Way cheaper than sending SMS!

The difference?

Opera Mobile may be one of the most powerful mobile browsers in the world, and is flexible enough to allow users
to do almost anything.

Opera Mini on the other hand is a legend.

Not quote as 5.2 is the beta for Mini and 10.10 is also the current version for the desktop Opera

Doncode, Opera Mini 5.2 is the only one that's real. Opera Mini 10.10 doesn't exist. You're mixing up Opera Mobile 10 beta version 1 and Opera Desktop 10.10 into a hybrid mobile application.

hey symbian phone is like a desktop.

Folks, if I have counted right there are 6 Opera Browsers. 3 current releases and 3 Alfa or Beta releases. That's not counting all of the previous releases for of the main thrusts. Then after that you have the various platform specific names for cellphones, smartphones, and specialty smartphones on and on.
Point being we all will get confused at one time or another,
Easy does it .... Crysta

Crysta T. Lacey Yep, there is the stable for the desktop Opera 10.10 and then there are the stables for Opera mini and Opera Mobile. There are also test version of each right now.
