Hi,
I'm looking to buy this device (in black) and I was very happy to find out that it has this kind of community, it is very important to me when buying a new gagdet, thank you
My question is regarding Opera Mini™, can you please confirm is it working without problems? I found this browser very convinient in some situation so this is very important to me.
Thank you, Happy New Year!
Opera for Pocket PC works a treat!
Hi,
I dont know whether Opera Mini is the same as Opera for Pocket PC but the latter works great. I can even do my online banking.
Nope, it isn't the same, this one is Java based and since Trinity have Java Virtual Machine and MIDP 2.0 support Opera Mini™ must work but this have to be confirmed by someone who have actualy tried, thanx for reply anyway
Have tried both Opera for Pocket PC and Opera Mini on my Trinity, and can confirm both work well. In fact, the Opera Mini seems to browse quite a bit faster than its big brother. I would use it more regularly, but I find the Opera Mini interface a bit clunky.
FYI The Gmail Java applet works well on the phone as well
Cool, I use gmail java applet as well Thanks!

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?
Hi all
Got my first windows phone and was wondering what browsers you are using with it ?
Thanks

IE, the built in one. Works fine for me. Only thing that'll make me switch is if Firefox is realeased for WM Wouldn't that be great? Oh and throw in Thunderbird too and It'll be the best!
I hear Opera is very good for mobile devices.

The better one is Netfront wich allow javascript, textbrowsing and many functions.
I use it on Universal since more than one year and I installed it on P3600 with success...
Have a try
Could anyone provide an invitation to download deepfish (or post it on rapidshare?)...
Many thanks...
mfg OK

Thanks tried it for an hour now and I'm loving it!!! (writing this with it ) Nice!
Opera Mini is amazingly fast. The fastest browser I've ever used. Too bad it need to run in java so entering text there's no autocomplete.
ThunderHawk is the most similar to a desktop browser and somehow their technology manages to fit about twice as much of a page on screen while still being legible. You pay a subscription of about 5 dollars a month, but after being away recently and having to use the PDA browsers a lot I was getting a headache using Pocket IE and Minimo, and the only browser which didnt make me claustrophobic was ThunderHawk.
They really should do a trial version of thunderhawk, because i dont believe many people would want to pay them before trial so its a very bad business model.
The problems with ThunderHawk are that it tries to usurp your operating system and it isnt like a normal PPC program. So, for simple short tasks I still use Pocket IE since it is less regimental.
I found Minimo to be pointless, Opera bloated, Netfront was ok, but pricey for not much advantage over an expanded PIE.
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 just updated my old Ipaq hx2410 with wm6.0 and it works great! One small problem though.... I can not get any of the java vm's to work on it. I would love to be able to use the opera mini browser that I use on my hermes.
Any thoughts? When I do install it it says that it can not run because it is not signed or a component is missing..
try esmertec jbed 20071119.3.1. it is a java emulator and works much better than the build-in one!!
I wish there was one built into the ROM. For the old hx2*** line there was not one, at least in the ROM's I have looked at and seen. I did on the other hand find one that actually works!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279600
Right from here on the good 'ol XDA site. Works like a charm. Doesn't start nearly as fast as Jbed does on my Hermes but still good enough to use opera mini which I think is the best hand held browsing experience I have ever had!

I've just installed Opera Mini on my Jade and I have to say, it's pretty nice.
Unlike Opera Mobile it is very fast and the zooming and display is better for a small screen like the 320x240 Jade screen.
Since the websites and images will be compressed by the Opera servers, the traffic is lower and the speed higher. Of course, I won't use the browser for sensible data, because the data runs through Opera proxies. But for normal browsing it's great.
The only problem: I can't switch to fullscreen, because the fullscreen can only be enabled by a key combination which I don't have on my Jade. Maybe someone knows how to fix this.
But it's still a nice browser.
Yes agree, I must say the speed is pretty impressive compared with the Op Mob even by setting graphics to high. btw is is there any method to launch it direct without launching jBlend first ? Am I missing something ? Cheers.
Here is a very useful overview of the features the most popular JVMs have.
As for the direct shortcut, my jade came with esmertec jbed, here is a description how to invoke opera mini (or any other midlet) directly from windows.
The problem is there's no description how to do that with jblend (why don't you use the preinstalled jbed, anyway?)
Mine is pre installed with JBlend. I've found the direct shortcut command i.e. \Windows\JBlend_AMS.exe -R 0.jar (0 is where your Opera Mini is in \windows\java, depending on your other installations.)
Thanks.
azahidi, would you highly recommend using opera mini or the stock opera browser?
Hi !
Yes Opera Mini is Very Fast ! That Good but i have the solution for your problem !
When you are on Opera Mini go to :
Setting => Full screen
that very simple but i don't know if you want that or an other "full screen"
Bye

For me the same: I find it important that the browser is fully integrated in the operating system (Windows mobile). Opera mini as a java-applet only has limited connections to the other functions of the phone (example: direct dial of telephone-numbers listed on web pages).

Talking about java-applet. How many of you are using Jblend? I tried today installing those 3D games that supposedly work with Jblend..but failed miserably in doing so...need help!
There is only a java version now, no PPC version. I don't like java programs.
