Because there is a percentage of people heating long waits... Safari is very nice but not responsive enough, and sometimes if you want just to read a news site, the user experience is just the same. Also I think that EDGE users will enjoy the fact that finally it's possible to have decent loading times of web pages.

I live in a city covered by 3G but when I from in my home town it's almost impossible to suft the web with Safari, while it was ok with Opera Mini on a Nokia N70 phone.

Opera Mini is surely not a drop in replacement for Safari Mobile, but it surely is a useful tool, much more useful than most of the other top-downloads in the Appstore.
