Hello
i was wondering if i could run the opera mini on my xda exec?
why is opera mini termed as opera's solution for java?, what does the java language have to do with a browser?
hi, yes u can run opera mini on your device..but i would rather recomand opera 8.6 for pocket pc which is great ..i mean for me. opera mini is a java application thats why is a java solution
PM me and i will give you a link where u can get it
thanks for the reply
is opera8.6 for pocket pc also a java application, all browsers are not java applications, correct/
i guess opera would need to have the jre installed on the phone?
Just grab a copy of Opera Mobile (WM5 PPC) from here.
This will install the trial (30 day) version.
Some evil crackers/pirates (arr!) have edited the .DLL file to remove the 30 day limitation, but at least they had the decency to post it to GSM Hosting rather than this site.
I hope this helps.
I actually didn't care for the Opera browser... it was very slow compared to Opera Mini. Mini is extremely fast and does everything pretty well.
thanks for the replies
both opera and opera mini need to be bought?
no, Opera Mini is free.
Opera browser for the PPC is not free.
is this a case of the browser with the bells and whistles is paid whereas browser-lite is free?

Just wondering what people are using to browse the web (other than the default browser) ?
I've tried Opera Mobile but it seems to play around with some of the text on the input area and screen (odd).
hi, had the same problem with opera. browsing seems fine in terms of speed but the language is distorted. i read the support page of opera, though it supports windows mobile 5.0 they said if you can't find your mobile phone in the support list then it's not compatible. they're suggesting opera mini instead but i haven't tried it yet.
currently im using netfront v3.3 which is so far the most stable for my atom. and browsing is so fast unlike PIE (sucks!). you should try mini-mozilla too.
for opera got funny character in input text. just copy the font arial.ttf from your pc window to atom /windows directory. and soft reset.
What do you know ... copying the font over work .... thanks Mazam.
Just out of interest, how does Opera compare to the others (Netfront etc.), are there really any major differences ?
No, don't use Opera. It's writen in Java and have good support for smartphone. Too bad. It's not really for PDA.
You can try Minimo - Firefox for PPC. Here: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/
One of the Minimo's good side is it show web pages with java script perfectly. Unlike Opera. Maybe Minimo load slower Opera little bit but it good enough for me.

what do you mean opera is java platform.. that is opera mini, what i'm using is opera for mobiles...
u can go here http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/products/winmobileppc/
Opera mini 8.5 is bar none the best browser, especially when used with the 'fit to screen' option. After using it, netfront, pie, and all the others feel 'broken'.
I see that Mini is free and Mobile isn't...and Mini seems to have iPhone browser-type capabilities (well, at least the new beta)...
So why shouldn't I just get Mini? Am I missing something? Please help, anyone.
Thanks.
And if you have a link to the .cab files, please post 'em.
Opera mini is light version
Con:
Can't download files
Pro:
Fast browsing.Ie all files are processed at server and transferferd mobile version page(light weight) to mobile.
Opera mobile.
Opposite to above.
PS:I have listed major diffrence.there are more differences than listed above. I don't want want make porffesional documnet on this
You shouldn't forget:
Opera Mini is a JAVA application, while Opera Mobile is not.
I used Opera Mini first, and it just looked terrible on my HTC S620, so I switched to Opera Mobile, which is much better.
But you can and probably should try both and then decide.
an java apps are generaly slower then real wm apps
non of them support skinning though which is a shame
because i dont care much for the opera icons
Hi everyone,
Hum, i'm looking for a browser for my elf, but i couldn't find any that didn't remake the page to a smartphone-type.
Anyone knows a browser that keeps the pages like a desktop pc?

try opera mini,works well for me. free and very easy to use. finger movement and zoom also can take over pie for downloads
Picsel Browser
hey wuub:
My picsel browser just seems slow all of the time. I've had a lot better luck with PIE on speed.
I used picsel for a while, until i found opera mini 4. It is much faster than picsel. It keeps your page in the desktop-like layout, but also formats the text so that it is readable (without having to pan around) when zommed in.
opera mini 4 is my suggestion, with esmertec jbed as your midlet manager
Hey Sturatt:
thnx for the info. Does Opera mini work well on the ppc's? I was looking at Opera's website & it looked like Opera Mobile was more for wm6 (but costs money) & Opera mini was more for the smartphones (and was free). PIE just doesn't do well for me but picsel really seems slow compared to PIE.
i have a mogul (ppc6800) and opera mini works great.
just install jbed, then go to www.operamini.com on your phone's IE, navigate to the opera mini 4 page and download (by default it goes to opera mini 3, you have to select a link to get to opera mini 4).

Yes, Picsel IS slow - and has tons of other problems (low Web standards compliance, for example). I don't really recommend it. Opera Mini 4 is far better - in my opinion, of course.
I would like to know if opera mini is compatible with my verizon xv6800. According to the opera mini web site it is not. If it is compatible, do I need to install something else for it to work?
Yes, its compatable. Download the high memory version of Opera Mini 4 and you should be good to go. Good luck.
Verizon doesn't ship Java with the XV6800, so Opera Mini won't run natively. You have to either install a Java client (search the links here for a recommendation) or install a new ROM that includes a Java client (the DCD kitchen includes Java as an option). Once you install Java and Opera Mini, you'll actually run Opera Mini from within Java. Opera won't appear in your programs list.

Quit posting this crap or get banned.
To answer the question, yes opera mini is compatible after installing a java manager. I use mini 4 and 4.1 on my 6800. Works 1000 times better than the pocket ie for 99% of browsing.
I can confirm as well. I used emerstec jbed and opera mini 4.1 beta and I love it. Pages load in a few seconds, even ones with a lot of graphics (xda-forums main page with all the phone pics). I also have opera 9 mobile beta and rarely use it anymore since opera mini is several times faster at loading pages. I haven't had many rendering issues when loading pages either. There is a good thread in the development and hacking sub forum with all the files you need.
Anyone figured out how to load the new Opera Mini 4.1 with the touch of the IE button? Or how to get it to work as the default browser?
hey all i have bought myself an qtek s200, now i would have my internet some faster...
is there an browser what's faster then internet explorer?
like firefox?
i have tried minimo, but thats not good to show normal websites...
i hope you can help me...
with friendly greeting,
mark
What I use is UCWEB its the best for me also for the Full PC experience Get Skyfire its a must have also try opera mini & opera mobile there both Great the is a firefox browser but its for Nokia and its in beta so we have to wait for it in the mean time try these ok
Try the Opera 9.5 until the Firefox --> "Fennec" will released...
when will fennec come out, anybody knows about it?
or will it only release for sybian and android/linux?
as far as i know it already works for the Nokia Internet Tablet N810 in a alpha2 version.
SO we have to while. But the Opera 9.5 is not as bad as u maybe suppose. I will use it in the meanwhile.

Opera Mobile eats Ram so be careful you should try opera mini aswell and UCweb and Iris Browser Get Skyfire it Rocks
i would like to test skyfire, but i does not install successfull. Strange.
Could u post a proper .cab? Thx
Try Netfront
Try Netfront 3.5, set it to 'text browsing' and disable all those useless bells and whistles like the fake 3D bookmarks manager. You'll get a very fast browser which enables you to read most useful sites in text mode while allowing you to go 'back' to 'full browsing' (with javascript and all that jazz) to use those few useless sites which insist on it. It has finger scrolling as well. IMnsHO this is currently the best browser for WM devices, beating Opera (memory hog) and PIE (no comment).
The version I linked to is a beta which will run out in a few months, I've been running previous betas for a while now without problems. When the beta runs out there will either be a new beta or the final release. If the latter will run unrestricted I don't know...
