First. Thanks for the cab.
I like the fact that it doesn't have it's own keyboard anymore. That think would not go away in landscape and took up half the screen. Second, it would go nuts once in a while while using facebook at least and repeat a letter like 10 times while you are typing. At least for me it did. I love the password storage in the newest version. I love the fact that it opens faster than when it required java. My biggest and most important dislike is that it is slower...to me it seems that it takes almost 2 times as long if not longer to open a page. I will have to wait for my wife to get home so I can compare the two between our 2 phones but that is my initial take on it. The speed almost seems same as regular 9.5 or whatever MR X included in his latest 2.5 release. Is anybody else getting slower load times from this than in the beta 2 that was out?

Im not seeing the slow speeds you are. In all honesty, Im super impressed with how fast it is. Any chance you were just having a funky connection at the time? Id be interested to see the comparison results when you get a chance to do it. please post back if ya can. thx,

wow it's super fast!. renders pages great. having a little trouble getting it to remember google reader logins (installed to flash card). very promising... will be my default browser upon next release (if not sooner).

Re: new version of opera mini! no java needed!

it loads super super fast, its awesome.....this thing loaded igadget.com (engadget.com) in record time..

I can't say enough about this release :)

Re: new version of opera mini! no java needed!

Still only one zoom level & you can't read text with it zoomed out.

It still has the problem from earlier versions where you click a link & instead of opening it, it reloads the current page (this annoys me so much that I rarely use it).

This version has promise (it's definitely fast), but I will still stick with the version of Opera 9.7 with the zoom slider on the bottom of the screen for now.

anyone notice its not progressing to the next page. Kinda like the first beta. if you are in ppcgeeks for example, and try to click last page of a thread, it keeps bring up the same page. Also, it took 5 attempts to save the password. Like the new setup and I'm sure its going to get better. seems to be prevalent on ppggeeks site but is working well on some other sites. strange

I have noticed this too. also when trying to post it seems like hit or miss lol.
And has anyone tried to upload pics to your albums here? It doesn't give the option to get a file from sd card only gives the option to upload a pic from Documents which is really a pain because I don't have my pics stored there. Irritating!

yep, cannot save anything to storage either. Couple people told me that its working perfect for them with respects to clicking links. gonna try installing on a fresh flash and see if it makes a difference for me.

stratch that... Just hard reset and installed from a fresh flash. links are working, passwords are saving. loving it :) sorry for the false alarm.

Re: new version of opera mini! no java needed!

Anyone know how to make it the default browser?

Re: new version of opera mini! no java needed!

Is there any way to import my bookmarks/start page icons to Mini5 from my Opera10?

Wirelessly posted (Opera/9.80 (J2ME/MIDP; Opera Mini/5.0.3521/958; U; en) Presto/2.4.15)

Just installed this, then promptly uninstall Opera 10 beta. This browser is so much faster but seems to retain the same look and functionality. Seems like mini does a much better job of registering clicks on link with my big ol' fingers. ;)

When I logged in with opera link in the settings, it brought in all my bookmarks and start page icons from opera mobile 10. love that feature :)
