I'm guessing Opera have setup a proxy to re-encode images to speed up performance. So I'd assume their server is in Germany or something and sites that can tell where you are by your IP think you're there...
afaik opera software is in oslo norway...
all the opera mini traffic runs through a server which transcodes the info and sends it to your phone...so wherever the server is (i'm guessing norway too?) ...that's where websites think you're coming from...
lol this is annoying for sites that think they're being smart and default to another language.. myspace and a few others that I've seen.. seems odd opera wouldn't have some kind of a workaround for this.

if you change the automatic shortcut for myspace to just myspace.com it fixes this issue... for whatever reason the myspace they have bookmarked for you is to the german one.

I have Opera on my Kaiser. 26 days to go for free.
But I have problems being motivated to buy the version.
Anybody an opinion?
Have no problems with IE till now. But maybe I am missing some important features.

Have you tried "Opera Mini" ?
If not, try it, you will never go back to IE
It is super fast, very compact, and works, also with that neat zoom/unzoom!.
Again, the browsing and rendering speed of Opera Mini is superb.
Drag and scroll.
Highlight and copy text
Save images
Successfully renders web pages more frequently than does the IE - IMHO

Try scrolling down a long page with PIE and you will know why Opera Mini is better. PIE almost grinds to a halt after the first screen or two has scrolled up.
EDIT: Update to above entry. PIE now has a fix for scrolling issue - downloadable here: IE Slow Scroll Fix for Kaiser_Tilt.cab

Gotcha!
Tested them both with a longer page and the difference is clear.
Thanks for your input.

Hi!
can Opera-mini and other apps be run from the memory card satisfactorily?
i.e are they slower?
I wonder if my other applications such as Resco Explorer 2007 and Code Wallter can be run from the card too?
Ofiaich
Don't take what I say as gospel but when I had Opera installed on the SD card it didn't function completely correct - like didn't follow email links correctly along with a couple of other glitches etc.
Likewise I have always been a bit hesitant to install things that operate so cloely with the OS, like Resco Explorer, to the card. They have always seemd to work much better on the main memory. Just my opinion.
Thus I have Opera mini and Resco Explorer installed on the main memory while just about everything else I have on the SD card.
jcrompton!
Thanks very much! Sounds good to me, and I have space in the main memory!
I will get on and download Opera mini !

Opera Can Handle Regular Youtube!
Please Dont quote me on this, but if i am correct, Opera (paid version, not mini) can render many types of complicated flash websites including Youtube(Yes the regular one not youtube mobile). I say this because i tested it for myself, a while ago on my mda vario or vario 2 (sorry cant remember). What seemed to be a slight problem though was, it ran out of memory frequently (ram) and as such the program would not start if other applications were running in the background.
Opera users on WM6, your reviews and thoughts on this are much appreciated!

OK - so I just figured out how to get Opera Mini work via the Java app under programs -- have you been able to get email links and other http links to automatically be opened by Opera Mini - I made some registry changes to get Opera Mobile to be the default browser, can you get Opera Mini to do that ? (wasn't sure since it is buried as a Java program)

Well you asked for it. I am going to have to quote you. Youtube does not work on my 8925 in Opera, neither the moble specific version (says media file type not supported) nor the full youtube site. Ugh.
I agree that you wouldn't really want to use Opera Mini on the Kaiser....Opera Mobile though is the bomb! I just wish it was free like the Mini version is, but it's good enough to pay for anyway. PIE just is not very good at rendering most webpages.
opera is very good browser but the built in pie some times show websites better than opera example http:\\www.xda-developers.com

I don't agree , it's superbly fast, it's free and it has good viewing settings. For straightforward surfing it's fine. I say give it a try you may be surprised.

Does opera support flash videos?

I just hit YouTube with Opera on mine and any 'watch now' links open the video for streaming in WMP. Is that normal?

I don't know the answer, haven't got my diamond yet - but can I ask why you want to use iexplore over opera and all its new features? Just asking if its not as good as its hyped to be.
we used to have different applications build for IE and by clicking a URL the Diamond will open Opera.
I would be interested to disable Opera as default browser too. Anybody found a way to set PIE as default browser. It's not that I dislike Opera, but one of my most frequently used sites http://mobile.alex.nl opens really small in it. Every time I open it I have to zoom in to make it readable.
Of course if anyone knows a solution to this problem, I'm also interested.
Did you guys tried to search?
Look what I found:

it seems, the new version of sktools is able to set iexplore as default browser.

Yes, but this will not change the browser that is opened from the browser tab in TF3D. Despite the default browser set, in TF3D when click on "Browser", still the Opera is opening
Hi All,
Has anyone else noticed that the Kaiser / IE seems to redirect you to a "pda friendly" version of a website.. I found this alot with News Sites and its nothing like the site you get from a standard PC/Desktop. I dont know how it knows I'm searching from my Kaiser and dont like the "pda friendly" pages, is there anyway to override this "feature" - After all I like to think I am getting to the actual website I want and not what "they" want...
It isn't the Kaiser that takes you to the PDA site. When you access the webserver that hosts the site it checks what browser you are requesting the page from.

You can avoid this and see the 'real' web by downloading and installing Opera. There is a setting in opera 9.5b's options to see the full web page rather than the mobile version.
Thanks there - I guess I should have known it was the Sites server etc and not the Kaiser.... So IE can't do it then, not had any experience with Opera so will give it a go (assuming I can find it) also I hear there is a Firefox version around called Minimo but again not used it before and dont know if it can do what Opera can....
Many thanks, will let you know how I get on.
Minimo was abandoned somewhere in 2006 at v0.2, was pretty unusable compared to today's browsers like Opera.
Hi,
Thanks for all the advice, yes I can see the pro's of Opera. Very sleek and lets me see the "proper" web page as opposed to the "pda friendly". Shame about Minimo tho as I like Firefox.... Here's to happy web surfing.

PIE isn't that great... but in these cases the owners of those particular sites have set it up to give a special version of their sites.
Its possible to get to the real version by messing with the user agent... but Opera does it soooooooo much better there isn't really any point. Opera mini 4 is free and works on any java enabled mobile phone (including the kaiser)
Opera Mobile 9.5 is available as a free beta version for windows mobile devices. Eventually they will release a commercial version which they will charge for and this is the one you really want on your kaiser (and should be worth the money!)
Just installed it on my Diamond. Lightning fast. Never saw such a performance with Flash on a mobile. Forget everything else.
Think one reason why it's so fast: the Proxy sends only ONE file containing all subfiles of a web page.
Should be standard browser on the cooked roms
Skyfire... OK!
I agree, it is pretty good. The only thing I find is the screen isn't as sharp as Opera - an the virtual scroll wheel doesn't work in Skyfire to zoom in and out... a feature I just can't live without!
and where we can get this skyfire?????????

Is that means all my data should pass threw skyfire's proxy ? , If yes it's lame and risky by getting in the future Advertizing and lets don't talk about passwords etc..
Skyfire works the same way as Opera Mini. All web traffic is processed in a central location, compressed, and then sent to your phone.
You should never conduct confidential business over either of these browsers. But it's just dynamite for flash content!
Hi,
i could download skyfire only with the mobile IE. The default OPERA doesn't work with the site http://get.skyfire.com
And it doesn't work, it hangs at the "locating" message...

I totally agree, in fact I'd say the image quality is absolute rubbish, it's like using some old WM5 application. Hope this is corrected in future releases.
Does also feel very beta as well but it is a beta anyway lol.
Is good to see BBC iplayer working though
Can't wait for future release
non us
glad to see i can now try this....fingers crossed
will try when i get home now

My version is Opera 9.7, i have Cuetfiss 2.7 Extreme Rom, but i have already this problem with other rom...
This is related to the localization. Opera isn't configured for each type of HW keyboard. Most opera 10 versions work fine, but even there some don't. There's a localization patch for Opera 10 if it doesn't work - I can't say for sure if it exists for 9.7. Easiest fix in my opinion is just to install a ROM that has this issue sorted, can save a lot of trouble.
Opera 9.7 has never officially been released. The version you got was preinstalled on some HTC devices without hardware keyboards and therefore does not support it. As far as I know there is no way to fix this. Use Opera Mobile 9.5, Opera Mobile 10 or Opera Mini instead.
