Hi all,
as you said the browsing experience using the Opera browser is not as good
as all of we want, however, as you mentioned Nokia guys know that (Ari
Jaaksi said that in that link Quim Gil sent) which it is a very good news!
However, even with an improved and lets suppose a "full working" Opera
browser we would have a second choice. Some other guys have already
complained about the Maemo open source ideologies and the Opera closed
browser (paradox), so why do not have an open source solution for both
issues?
You mentioned Webkit. What is that webkit? Please, do not worry explaining
me this, actually I know what the Webkit is. What I mean here is its
functionality. It is used in Nokia S60 (Is it?) but we are complaining about
a Web 2.0 compliant browser and the Webkit seems to be in a initial stage
now and seems that have been like this for years. BUT, with some
improvements could become a lighter and faster browser. Webkit needs of a
good developer (or a team of developers) working on its improvement. It has
all the requirements to become the Opera substitute.
IMHO, the most complete solution you mentioned is the Minimo browser. It is
not as heavy as Opera, it is more completed than Webkit and it is Mozilla
based. Minimo just need some updates on its internal GtkMozEmbed which is
not full compliant with Firefox engine. BTW, there is a guy working on its
port to Maemo [1] (You should try it!).

In matter of facts, ue to lack of time, minimo port is actually in a
freeze mode :( . I got write access to extra.maemo.garage , and I also
have a new release ready, but time is really not a friend at the
moment.
Also, minimo does not rely on gtkmozembed anymore.
Anyways, stay tuned ;)
