What version of Opera comes on the TP2? I just accidentally installed an older version and wiped it out.

3. Sometimes Opera zooms while trying to pan. What the heck?
4. Is there any other decent browser for TP2?

1... thats just the way they did it.
2.this version of opera dont support flash i believe, also who uses their native browser anyway.lol j/k
3.you must be double tapping on accident or your fingers skipping on the screen while panning, or ya accidentaly touching the zoom bar (likely not).
4... i like opera mini 4.2 and opera mobile 9.7 and of course skyfire for all flash vids.

Opera mini wont install on my phone, it just gets hung up during install and the progress bar only gets to about 20%.

Thanks, I found it and downloaded it to the phone.

When I start it now, it first says....HTC loading, then it starts but its like it has no internet connection, however IE works fine.

Strange, I just noticed it works on Wifi but not on Sprint?????
It still says HTC loading for 5 seconds first then it loads.

Opera Mini works and is awesome.

1. Download and install Jbed
2. Load "Java" from start menu
3. Install Opera Mini from Java

1. Huge drawback
2. Gimme flash!
3. I'm not double tapping but the screen seems to think I am. This zoom feature needs to be disabled.
4. Opera Mini 4.2 is my current fave. I can click a tiny link easily and no errant zooming.

What makes Opera Mobile 9.7 better?
