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.

But did it fix not being able to Upload from storage? It didn't even give me the option to do that.

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?

Well I had to test this against beta 2 and they both have the same load times for pages. The only difference is that beta 2 renders the page initially faster but they both finish loading at the same time.

So far I like this a lot. It's fast, scrolls nicely, and has none of the checkerboarding all the other browsers have.

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

I guess I am going to have to try a hard reset to see if that will work for me. I have tried a bunch of times to post from mini today and had no luck at all...dang it wish I had sashimi now lol!

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

BUGGY!!! mobile site redirects with mobile view off (whats so hard about including a user-agent switcher like in opera 8.6x?). and when typing with touch screen the cursor moves back to the begining of the line,they cant seem to get either of these right tho i like how fast and light it is

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

I've already installed the Oprea Mini for PPC, it feels good to use.

Hi, I was able to choose links again but occassionally still cant progress to another link. Seems to occur with drop down menus alot. No luck on the storage card. Hopefully there will be a another release with a couple fixes.

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

There definitely are some remaining quirks. I'm assuming the failure to addresses the long term issues is related to the effort put into making this a stand alone application independent of Java. Hopefully we will see these knocked off soon. Even so, Mini remains the most usable of mobile browsers for my needs.

This should do it. The only problem which I don't mind TOO much is that your bookmarks on the main screen won't work anymore. If you click them they'll just open up the app and you have to put in the link or click the embedded bookmarks again.
