I've been looking for a broswer that acts like Safari (you see the whole page, and then click to zoom in, etc....) Opera Mini does this, but I can't download files from it, and I always have to start java, etc.....Mobile doesn't seem to do the same thing (whole page, like Safari).....are there any browser that will duplicate what Safari/Opera Mini do, and still allow downloading, etc....??? Or does Opera Mobile have that hidden away in it's settings somewhere? I'm not really looking for favorites or opinions, just the function of opening a full page on my screen, then clicking to zoom in to a part.....
thanks in advance!

Theres a lot of Opera Mini stuff in the link in my sig, I've not read it all, but the mod who wrote it is an expert on Opera Mini and Java.
EDIT:
BTW you can now download files in Opera mini 4.1 beta
Download and upload files
On phones with JSR-75, you can now upload and download files using Opera Mini 4.1 beta, without being re-routed to your phone’s native browser. Update your blog while on the go. Upload photos to your web site or social network. Add attachments easily to web-based email, and download other non media-rich content to your phone using Opera Mini 4.1 beta.

At the Moment Sleuth's ROM has it cooked in version:
Esmertec Jbed Build ID: 20070726.1.1
Thanks

Opera mini is a super fast browser but some of it's functionality is scaled down. In general, you should be able to download from mini... but not as robust as others.
IMO Opera 9.5 (official version not released yet) is very promising. It has a very good download manager, browses similar to Opera Mini and is much more robust in terms of overall browser functionality, certificates, etc. It's worth a look. It's beta is all over this board if you do a search.
Enjoy!!

edit: nice version thank you sir
edit2: I agree with everything you state in post 3.
ok, this one definitely feels good! quicker, feels more stable with certain websites that weren't as stable with the previous builds, and the animations seems much smoother. I still couldnt get f7 to work properly with youtube websites(kept freezing) But overall it seems of an upgrade!
I'm having the same issue I had with the last version posted and that is Opera will hang at the launch / splash screen and I can not kill the processes either, however I can still use the phone and launch other apps, but the splash screen stays on top. I have to soft reset to get back to normal.

its either the rom your using or its conflicting with another software.
So far this version seems like a definite improvement - the biggest being that I can now use the 'automatic full screen' option without it changing to full screen half way through typing an address on my Kaiser keyboard!
Haven't come across any bugs as yet.
initial testing shows:
- overall speed/feel increase
- addressbar doesn't auto-hide when typing w/ hardkeys in auto-minimize mode
bug: after closing out of opera in landscape mode, left my tilt in left-handed landscape mode. had to go to settings->system->display to bring it back into portrait mode.
Testing on June 29 ryncppr v6, 1.58.25.17 radio, hardspl 3.56
Bug: When using the hardware keyboard to fill in fields on a webpage, the field that is being typed in sometimes looses focus after each letter is selected on the keyboard. If the software keyboard is used, the problem does not occur.
With 8.65, i could copy the opera6 adr file that i have saved on my sd card and paste it into the opera folder to import my bookmarks after flashing, etc. This doesn't seem to work with opera 9. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Build 1184 vs 1409
In Build 1184 when I pressed an internet link in an email Opera 9.5 would load the page not PIE. With build 140p, PIE loads the page and not Opera Mobile. I have looked in the settings etc and can not find a way to make Opera Mobile my "default browser" Is this possible? If so how?
i'm still getting the missing address bar when typing on the kaiser keyboard. im still using wm6. anyone else still has the problem?

I am using the Titan with windows mobile six and am also having this problem with opera mobile 9.5. Anybody with a fixed build?
Yup - my vario III on standard rom does this - I can only type one letter in from the keyboard before the focus is lost. Also it's not running as the default browser and there is no option to set this :-(
Looks lovely though....
Default Browser key:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Rai/: DEFBROWSER/1
Note: the above key is "colon and capital 'D' together" but the board makes it into a grin icon. lol
by default, it should be ":MSPIE", you can change it to the location of OperaL.exe, generally "\windows\operal.exe"
Bug: RSSHub is no longer able to open a link, it gives the error "file http://.... cannot be opened"
Fix: RSSHub seems to be connected to pocket ie. you will need to reset all registry references back to pocket ie and THEN apply the default browser registry hack. ( soft reset after all that )

Registry change worked like a champ. Opera Build 1409 now opens when I select a link in an email. Thanks a Bunch!!! Sorry I can't help with the RSSHub issue.
Dissapearing Address Bar
I am using WM 6.1 (one of Duttys hybrid ROMs) and still ahve the issue with the sddress bar dissapearing before I am finished typing.
I still believe it may be related to Opera not recognizing the pull out (hard) keyboard, or perhaps it is related to the Diamond XT9 keyboard in my ROM....
Any info. appreciated!

Michael
For SD version. Check my thread

today i read a news about a new upcoming browser named skyfire.
and what i am asking me: when the open beta comes to my country and i install it on my diamond... can i change the default browser für touchflo3d?
here is a version i tried using. only half the screen is skyfire and the other half is today screen. check it out. maybe it works for you.
Skyfire is a pretty good web browser for mobile phones. It was apparently found to be the fastest - mostly because it renders the pages from a central server.
I believe you have to register with them to fully use the software (you need a Skyfire account).
Also, there is a new release, but it still does not support VGA devices yet.

yes but can i change the default browser in touch flo 3d?
maybe in some time no one wants to use opera and all want to use skyfire.
seemts that its just a simple shortcut to change.
Skyfire is not compatible to VGA right now.
I tried out Skyfire on my diamond and there is a workaround the half screen problem. Other than the fact that flash works, i don't think it is better than Opera 9.5 at least not until a VGA version comes out.
I uninstalled Skyfire and now I have the problem where PIE is now my default browser instead of Opera. Whenever I tap on a link on my rss reader or email, it goes to PIE by default. Is there a way to change my default browser back to opera?
Just Re-run the WM_6_HTC_PPC_Opera9.cab in your windows directory, and it will re-install Opera and fix the link issues. Your bookmarks, history and other browsing data will not be harmed.
Skyfire 0.85 is out, with VGA support. Just tried it and it works like a dream on my Diamond, even able to watch top gear on iPlayer with it.
Hi,
Installed on my MDA Compact and it works well. However, it won't connect using wifi.
Any solutions?
Regards

I just downloaded it too and mananged to get a video playing from the iPlayer but I don't get any sound. Did you have any issues with sound at all?
(I'm on Dutty's V3.2 ROM)
To answer another question the latest version works on VGA but allegedly not on WVGA so Touch HD users may be disappointed. You can download it here http://get.skyfire.com/ and yes, Skyfire asks you if you want to make it the default browser.

Maybe... but uninstalling it even when it's not default resets your default browser to PIE. Which sucks.
i cannot download it,has anybody have vga cab?
Just open http://get.skyfire.com/ in your mobile browser, you'll get to download the cab directly from the phone!
i have opened it 100 times but i cant download,it always get me back to getskyfire.com.
i am not in usa,i am in europe,can somebody please post/upload cab???
Yes, here u go....

This is because unlike PIE/Opera Mobile, skyfire downloads the webpage on a regular pc, then sends you "an image" of the website, in a low quality.
So it's not actually that fast, zooming and panning are weak on it.

or can i get flash in opera?
You can get flash in opera mobile
Check the developments and hacking forum on XDA, it's near the top.
Look for Adobe Flash Lite 3.1 and a compatible Opera build =]
i think i may have a stupid question but ive really looked everywhere for the solution and cant find anything!
the problem is:
on my topaz (original rom etc) i installed opera mobile 9.7b just to try it out, didn't work wit the zoombar and G-sensor so i just unstalled it. but now when i open a link in e.g. an e-mail i get IE instead of opera 9.6 (the original delivered with the topaz).
i've looked every little file on my phone but i can't find where i can put the old opera back to default! anybody here maybe can help..
or... is it possible to integrate opera 9.7beta into the topaz, so i can use the zoombar and the tilt function when i'm browsing, and acces true the internet button on my touchflo 3d?
I like the new opera but it isn't really working for 100% integrated on my phone so the old one is better to use for me
i searched some threads but havent found anything.
does somebody know how to do it?
want to sync for example the push pages on tf3d that they will open with opera mini...
Ive often wondered if this is possible. I always assumed it wasnt as its a program within a program ie, you open the java program the you open opera mini. I remember seeing some code somewhere once so you can just click on one icon and it opens up both java then opera in one fell swoop. Im just about to go to work so i dont have time to search for it...

yes, totally both 4.2 and 5.0 beta which im loving it more than opera 8.65 and 9.7
I'm afraid it is not possible.
alright, would have been nice, but its not a big thing.
i'll start it the old fashioned way with the icon in the programs-tab.
wooooooowww, opera mini 5 is the god browser, when it got finished and take back the download manager(`cause every time you try a download it redirect you to i.e) it will be perfect, loving it, much more than i.e and opera...
i wish setting opera mini as defaut is really possible...
