I'm new also, but I've learned a good bit @ the i1. To start with, opera mini is @ the fastest browser I've found for the i1, but go to the market and download the opera browser there. It is a little different, a little faster and a little better. Also, on your phone - go to settings, applications, browser settings. Unselect opera mini as as default browser. The widgets for both opera browsers are identical so when you are ready to connect, find the new one and put it on one of your home screens. Next, Opera (and everything else I've tried) doesn't have adobe flash player so you will have to download any video. Just click on the video, and a download option will come up. Select... save to...and I would save it under dcim. Then you can see it in the media gallery on your phone. And it is so much faster if you use wifi. Try "YouPlayer" in the market, it is a direct link to YouTube and is good for mp3 and mp4, but you still have to wait on it to download.
