opera mini 4 is AMAZINGLY FAST
 

I am using the new opera browswer and am blown away by the speed!!!! god bless the java engine on the mogul.

minimo and pie are nothing compared to this, this is finally real internet speed !!!


(posting from the opera mogul)

how is the load on the program memory once you have been using it for a while could you check your memory under settings and see what it is at, and what it goes up to once you close it. Or if you have memaid check the running proccess and see how much it takes up, i was using opera 8.6 and going on ebay the program jumped up to 4.5mb. i am looking for something that runs less than 2mb.

wow it is pretty fast. any way to set a shortcut on the start menu

I have tried it (I had used it on my old phone) and I'm really surprised that the mobile version doesn't come close to working as well as the Mini version. I sure hope they fix that, as loading the Java console and then working me way to it is kind of a pain, not to mention I'd rather a better-integrated native application.

what is the link to get it

oh its the beta version that is nice.

how do i link this to my start menu instead of having to go thru java

are you all using the high speed version or the low speed version?

But Opera mini doesn't support multi-tabs, right? Can I import my Opera Windows Mobile bookmark into Opera mini?

As far as I'm aware the Java applications have no ability to communicate with the greater Windows Mobile ethos, so no ability to import or transfer data between them. That's one of the downsides of using Opera Mini. Also, as you noted, the lack of tabs.

I'm keeping it installed on my machine, but I'd much rather see Opera update the Mobile version to gain some of the same functionality. In particular the easy zooming functionality that Mini contains. Sure I can zoom in Mobile, but only in a three-deep menu, which isn't good for viewing a whole page and then zooming in on the area I need.

Which Memory version is everyone on. Any difference between the two that anyone has noticed

http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/

from that it sounds like Opera Mobile 9 should work much like the opera mini beta in a more WM-native way, but unfortunately it's not out yet

Dmunkey: Only bother with the hi-memory version. The lo-memory version's for low-end cell phones, and it doesn't have as many features and doesn't load the pages as nicely.

ttyRazor: The wording's odd, and from some places it seemed to refer to 8.65 beta as the beta for 9.0, suggesting that that IS the interface. If so, I'll be disappointed.

Well after I installed and closed it I can't find the program. Any idea where it saves too when you install?

Jeremy, to run opera mini, you need to run the java app. Then click on the applications and you'll see opera mini.

ah, I see.

That kind of sucks.

Yea, i know. That's the only downside. If you get the opera mobile version, you won't need to run the java app first...but you have to pay for opera mobile. The latest opera mobile beta is free until october i believe.

Well I just tried to post some screenies .. its not letting me due to the fact that I am new I have not posted before :P.. btw Hello to everyone new here.

Yes opera is very fast and easy on memory

To me opera is clear winner here.. I used also tried Minimo browser and wow does it consume alot of mem.. think I had like 6mb left or something like that with only minimo loaded.. dindt get screenie tho.. uninstalled it right away.. lagged for me.

*Edit.. wOOOt finally got thru :P*

Opera mini 4 beta IMHO is much much better than Opera mobile. I have both, and the mini blows it away. Mobile has tab browsing and text selection, but mini is much faster, preformats text to fit your window, and has the iPhone zoom interface.

MAKE SURE TO UNCHECK AUTO ZOOM in mini's settings. I missed it when I posted earlier. To zoom in tap on the screen to zoom out hit back.


Anyone out there know how to make a shortcut to a hard key? Don't say it isn't possible because the sprint music store has a link in Programs, and that is JAVA based as well. Someone out there can hack it, I know you can :)

You know this topic was about Opera Mini, not Opera Mobile, right? Opera Mini doesn't support tabs and runs in Java. Opera Mobile supports tabs, runs natively, and doesn't have the great zooming functions of Opera Mini.

the link on the sie only lets me download mini for blackberry or palm. how are you guys using this program?

Per the instructions on the Opera Mini site, you follow the link to mini.opera.com/beta on your device and download it from there. The links you saw to the Palm or Blackberry versions are listed as optional if you happen to have those devices instead of the more typical ones.

Kinda liked the Opera mini, but a pain in the butt to start b/c couldnt just put a shortcut in my start menu or something, and found it a little difficult to read longer text b/c id zoom in to read but then there wasnt that much text. loved the interfaced though, how it zoomed and moved, very fast.

sending this reply using mini right now. i think this browser is way fast. the fact that is a miglet doesnt bother me at all.

I know that this is a Titan forum, but does Opera Mini not work on the 6700?

I'm receiving my 6800 Mon or Tues, so I just wanted to maybe try it out to see if I liked it. When I go to the site on my phone, it downloads, but the file does nothing.

I can't find the 6700 on the list of phones for the desktop download.

What am I doing wrong?

-Touche'

The 6800 has the Java applet... the 6700 doesn't unless you added something. So you will not be able to run Mini as it is a Java app.

Okay, I gotcha. Thank you for the reply, gameboy213. Appreciate it.

-Touche'

Opera Mini will work on the 6700 if you have one of the ROMS that has the Midlet Manger on it. I have been playing with it. It's ok but I'm not partial to it.

This browser doesn't seem to work with streaming videos sites such as youtube.

Is there a way to create a shortcut to this little wonder?

Yes, but noone figured it out yet. Sprint music store is a Java miglet and it has a direct shortcut in the program folder.

I'm desperately waiting for a tweaker out there to make us a shortcut too.

How do i go side to side on either one of the browsers?

Scroll?

There's horizontal scroll bars in the Mobile version, although you can also hold and drag (sporadic). In the Mini version you just drag to scroll.

I created this for those of you who want to launch Opera Mini without bringing up the Java app first.

Install the attached link (inside the zip) to your \windows\start menu\programs folder.

Click on OperaMini in your programs menu to launch the app automatically.

YOU ROCK !!!


this makes my day, if I had points I'd give them to you.

I gave them for you... :wink:

Too cool. So now I've got three browsers to use! Mini for speed, IE for a quick-access system-level browser, and Mobile for advanced stuff.

I would throw Piscel on there too if I were you! :D
