Here is a short comparative of webbrowsers available on Windows Mobile 6.1. I used them on a Acer X960 on French VirginMobile network.

Browser	Pros	Cons	WebSite
Internet Explorer 5	already installed on devices	slow no tabs no Flash GMail doesn’t work Micro$oft!
Mozilla Fennec 1.0a1	open source tabs	very slow very heavy in memory no Flash GMail doesn’t work	http://www.mozilla.org/projects/fennec/1.0a1/releasenotes/
Opera Mobile 10	tabs fluidity speed	no Flash heavy in memory GMail doesn’t work not open-source	http://www.opera.com/
SkyFire 1.5	GMail works Flash supported speed	no tabs confidentiality not open-source	http://get.skyfire.com

As a conclusion, what do I do?

In most cases, I use Opera, for its speedness and tabs.
When I need watch a video
- my Acer X960 displays YouTube videos in a specific player
- on other websites, I use SkyFire.
For Google applications (GMail, Reader, Docs, etc.), I use SkyFire, too.
