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.

Actually, I don't think that will work to make it the default browser. It doesn't look like it's accepting a URL passed to it, so it might start up the browser, but won't open a clicked link.

Anyone tried the procedure in the link above?

So, this is great, but 2 big problems.

1) Need a way to make this default (i.e. open clicked links from, say, email)

2) Font Size is WAY too big, even on small. I'm surprised there hasn't been more discussion about that. On my VGA Touch Pro, it borders on unusable.

Maybe someone could find a hack for a smaller font size?

there's no discussion because the font size is better than java based om5.

You must have perfect vision or strong contacts/glasses. I've always felt that the font was terrible adn thus one of the biggest negatives of om5 in the past. Now it's perfect! Or maybe it's because i have a tp2 with a much larger screen and wvga resolution...

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

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

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!

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
