Tested and comments on Opera for Symbian OS

Greetings. First of all I would like to say that if any following comments might be found offensive, I apologise for that. So here goes.
I've been using version 8.65 and most of the issues occured, as always, eating up lots of ram out from the phone. When I ever using this version, I can't use other applications, somewhat the phone will automatically restart, or the browser itself exits. While searching for another solution to make sure I get the full experience of java enable websites, I found Opera 10. Therefore I downloaded from the main site and used it. And it has been a month of trial usage upon this latest version.
Thus, I found out the interface is pretty nice to look at. Menu options are quite simplified, and to config thoroughly, I had to input some sort of address to access into it. Then only I can define the download location rather default selected.
Whenever I tried to download a file from any sites, usually it'll pop up the download windows for some options to choose. Somehow it seems the default location still there, nothing in particular on whatever settings I've made. So everytime I need to select the desire location to store the downloaded file, manually.
After few times doing so, it became mean, when I click download button, the window pops up and disappears before I click anything. Imagine if the download site with java countdown thing going on, and if failed to grab the file, the counter will reset and have to wait for another bla bla bla minutes to redownload again, which makes me annoyed of this, and it's so vital due time consuming.
Despite the matter above, what the most important thing of a browser is the page loading speed. I've tried many connections, wifi, 3g, broadband... Imagine loading google main page for like a minute... Much much slower than version 8.65. This issue has made a great impact of disappointment of my experience on browsing with mobility.
For the footnote, I'm using back version 8.65, although auto exit may happen, but I've to bear with it, as long as the page loaded and get used to load only this app without multiple instances. Yet, I'm very supportive to UCWeb 6.3, my most favourite web browser. No doubt it doesn't support java, but so to say, the speed of page loading is undisputable.
