Question Has any one tried Dolphin mini as me?

Recently, my current default browser, Dolphin Browser HD got a new little brother----Dolphin Browser Mini. Although HD works fine on my phone, it is a little laggy for it has so much powerful features. And this Mini one claims itself being light and fast, I decided to take a shot at it.
It is really much faster than HD with its cleaner and more elegant UI. I could quickly access various settings in menu. As for the features, although they are much like HD’s----actually even less powerful than HD( mostly due to lacking of add ons), it does have something different in some aspects. Such as its speed dial page, adding labels to bookmarks, unlimited tabs and ect. . And its new select text is also very sweet. However, the only thing I shall complain about it is that it could not import bookmarks from HD. Or I may replace HD with it. Cause I really love its fast speed.
I am still waiting for those guys improving dolphin. Either improving the speed of HD or adding more features to Mini would be great!

Whoa, I didn't think any browser would be faster than Dolphin HD.

I also like the "Google Chrome" like start page (speed dials). It also has a much cleaner look.

Installed and using it now,

Thanks!

Beside the bookmark issue, I was wondering what else those guys could do to make it even better.

firefox was terrible the last time i used it, haven't gone back since switching to Dolphin HD, gotta try out the mini now

I've tried Skyfire, Miren, Firefox, and prefer Dolphin over the rest.

I tired HD for a day and thought it was okay, but it wasn't to my liking vs Opera Browser(Mini before that) and stock at the time. Then I tired Dolphin Mini and was so impressed I uninstalled Opera and almost exclusively use Dolphin Mini. The only thing I miss from stock and other browsers I tried is the ability to type in stuff(with my hardware keyboard) without tapping on the address bar.

I used to use Dolphin HD, then I switched back to stock, but now I'm hooked on Dolphin Mini, I get the speed of the stock browser, with the features and tabbed browsing of its bigger brother (Dolphin HD) It's the best of both worlds....(hannah montana theme song, anybody?)
