I’m using a Samsung Restore and browsing with Opera 4.2. It’s a decent browser, much faster than the native app, but never got a feel for Opera. What I need is some browser suggestions. I’m on the Virgin network and don’t have flash. Thanks.

Is the Samsung Restore a standard Android phone?

If so, my favorite browsers are Firefox and Dolphin.

Seconding Dolphin HD. I’ve tried mobile Firefox and Opera, and I think Dolphin better…maybe they’ve gotten better with updates, but when I sued them, they were too slow.

So after you sued them they made it faster?  
I like Dolphin but found it to be laggy on my device. Opera is fast but I wish they used the standard Android UI buttons.

I use Dolphin HD on my Galaxy SII as well. It’s a wee bit buggy but still far better than any of the alternatives.

I ran Dolphin on my Optimus and loved it, but sadly this is non-Android phone. I think it’s pretty much like the Rumor.
