Anyone else having connection issues with mini opera?

looks to me like they are doing a skyfire and cutting off the WM faithful and then going down for the likes of Android and crApple. they already only released the new versions for those platforms only.

Doubt it, I'm using the latest java version of Mini, which is still being updated.

God, I really hope this isnt the case. I really love Opera mini, everything else just seems too slow to me. Hopefully they do resolve it quickly. Has anyone ever tried installing Opera Mini 6 to a tp2 without android? Whats the reason it wont work? I saw somewhere that its supposed to support windows 6.5, but when you look up by phone, they suggest mini 5.1. Why is this?

Mini 6 wasn't released for WM, you would need to use the java version for 6.

slow as s**t since 11PM last night [April 20TH 2011]. I have WM 6.5 AT&T Samsung Jack, and Opera Mini 5, and it is the only browser that actually made sense on this device. I really hope they are not doing a skyfire on my ass, cuz that will be it for me - no more freaking devices and idiotic crap, etc.

P.S. A friend just told me that Opera is not ditching Windows. On the contrary - Opera is Supporting Windows by pushing everyone move up from WM 5x WM 6x to upgrade to Windows 7. And you can see that Opera Mobile 11 has an official release for W7.

I am thinking that Opera might eventually retire their servers which WM 6.5 runs on, and that will be "The Ditching" which, by the way, is kinda what Skyfire did...
Why can't they run the newer versions of Opera on the same servers as the older ones? Or maybe that's what they are doing right now, and that's what's causing this slow down??

Just tried it.
It is fast as Opera Mini, thats it.
Does not load pages in similar viewing.
Nothing looks as good as Opera Mini

Time to try old Opera or Opera 10...

Your observation made me realize the slowdown occured when they released the Android versions to the marketplace.
So my guess is that this has something to do with our slowdowns.

It is my assumption that Servers are not down, just being allocated to Android users.
The longer this takes to be resolved, the more severe it must be.
