anyone tried it??
from the screenshots..it still looks like what you see on phone built-in browsers.
exactly what advantages do i have by using opera mini if it looks the same?? or i could say...opera mini = html to wap design lookalike

It is free anyway hmm i'll try soon, but does it actually load up more bytes comparing to phone software? i think so..since its html. but i don't believe it supports javascript/flash

just try it out and u will love it.. the best part are it will reduce the size of the data transferred and fit nicely to the small screen of the phone..
it will not load up with more bytes, but will load up with fewer bytes as opera server scram the html to smaller size/packet...

oh hey!
for those who wanna try... if you have opera browser, if not, download from opera.com
then when surfing, hit shift + F11 !!! you'll get a feel of what its like surfing in the phone!

I'm not using Opera Mini but Opera S60. Not sure what's the difference, but Opera S60 is much smoother than the phone's built-in browser, and menus are accessible by 1 key which makes it faster to navigate around (example, 1 for Go To, 2 for bookmarks, 8 for settings, 0 for zoom, etc). The only disadvantage is that I haven't found out how export my bookmarks.

I'm using the mini here.IIANM it loads less bytes compared to the phone software (not too sure bout this) And as others have said,u gotta try it out urself,kinda hard to tell u why it's better.A function I personally like is the disabling of pictures,so I can save money by not loading big darn pictures

It's definitely better than the browser included in S60 3rd, at least to me. I use Opera Mini when I want to view the website as a whole, the S60 browser when I want to view the website in its mobile form.

try to download old version like op 3.0, it load less data. If you want to save money just unclick the load image option in setting. In that way each page would only be 2 to 5 kb ( 2 to 5 cents ) Use it since version 1.0 way back few years ago. Now no more unlimited plan, so use less.

I'm not sure but it seems that it's not possible to do the same on Opera Mobile. I use Opera Mobile for viewing websites with pictures and Opera Mini for fast browsing. Is there any browser that can view flash like YouTube video? I just don't like using another app just to watch videos.

Using opera mini 4 to post now. Am impressed with the new one, the last time i used the processing time was not this fast.. Now is superb.
But i noticed one thing, gif animated pictures are stationary now. Maybe this is to reduce loading times.

Solution for opera internet setting if the network cant detect ur service provider. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Try this. Menu, Settings, Configurations, Personal Configurations, click Options n then Add New at the bottom. Click Access Point. Click again to edit it n put ua name. Click Ok. Scroll down to next entry. Data Bearer n select Packet data. Authentification- Normal. APN- put ua service provider's APN instead of Internet which is the default. Username n Password as per the service provider. Go back until u see Access Point menu n ua name that u had entered. Click Options n Activate. Once u run OM n it prompts u for network access n u allow u should see ua name briefly b4 it starts connecting. All the best. from: mkinyuak source: Opera Forum

connecting part should be when the wifi is trying to connect to the wireless modem.. may be due to wireless strength not strong enuf, normally if having problems in the connecting part, it will pop up a list of wifi choices for u to choose.
mine also sometimes it takes quite long at 1st to connect to 1st page.. after that after 2-3 mins of surfing, then the connecting part becomes immediate, and processing part is the slower part.
