same here with Opera 8.65 on my HTC Touch (hum, sounds like i need to upgrade to v9). IE mobile sucks as it doesn't recognized Font Color tags, result = black text on a dark gray background... not that anyone should be using IE Mob anyways...
of the WAP'ified versions linked above, wap2 seemed best IMO. all WAP versions are lightening fast, what with the lack of graphics and all.
