Opera browser

is there a difference between opera mobile and opera mini browser? is it worth the extra money to buy opera mobile instead of using the free opera mini?

Opera mini is a java app, though it is pretty good, I would say even better than opera mobile. But, it might have problem running on some devices depending on which java client the device uses.

would opera mini be just as good as opera mobile on my kaiser?

i recommend opera mobile since it installs as a program which can also be set as your default browser. Opera mini is a java app which is not added as a default browser and you have to load the java app to get to it.

if i was to buy the current opera mobile version, and opera 9 comes out, would i have to buy opera 9 as well, or would opera allow me to upgrade for free?

Opera 8.65 has been "finally" released few days ago.
However, it has few problems with license/registration if you check their website.
As for Opera 9, I am not sure if it will be released this year (or ever be released!).
Opera Mobile 9 = Duke Nukem Forever

I use Opera Mini 4 beta 2 and I must say: best browser ever. Sure, it's a bit anoying that you have to launch the Java app first, but you quickly forget about it when you work with the browser. Perfect experience I must say.

Maarten,
Which midlet manager do you use? JBed?
Can you download files using Opera Mini? I often download .3GP files from the internet
How is the performance when browsing a large site? I found PIE sucks in this area, often stuck and I have to soft-reset.

Much better than PIE.
I alo recommend that you ALL follow the General forum ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=256 ) in here as I've answered all the questions asked in this thread there in my Opera Mini 4 beta 2 review ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326368&highlight=Opera+Mini ) and WM Web Browser Bible ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=301009 ).

Last time I used Opera mini I couldn't make a backup of or restore my bookmarks. That's really annoying, when you want to restore a backup or install a new ROM. The pro is that is reduces the internet traffic. Opera mobile is much better when internet traffic is not important.

If I have Pixelbrowser - would adding Opera Mini be redundant ?
Would you just add Opera Mobile for better default support ?

I just installed Opera Mini, and ... it works fine! fast! and nice!
I also created a shortcut and hack the security warning according to this info:
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-...ed-includes-info-new-java-midlet-manager.html
Then I changed the "IE button" to load Opera Mini
I like it so much
But there are several things I dont like:
1. When I download .3GP from a link, it will be picked up by Internet Explorer Why cant Opera handle that? I mean asking to download and save ...
2. The browsing History is displayed in the Startup Screen! Can this be disabled?
Anyone know how to fix them?

What is the difference between mobile and mini (feature wise)?

FYI To do it create a shortcut in notepad on your PC and copy it over to your Start Menu with :
28#"\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_
where s*_ is the number in the menu where opera is... brilliant!

Disable opera as default browser

Is there a possible way to disable opera as the default browser and use iexplore again?

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.

Actually I did, but apparently with the wrong terms! Thanks!

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

Skype and TouchFLO 3D issues.

1.From some reason the skype (version 2.2) stuck after installing during launching
Any ideas ?
2.Is it possible to customize the TouchFLO 3D home plugin in the meaning of eliminate some tabs ?
(for the example I don’t need on my home screen the music, Internet and photos tabs)
Thanks
Ori

I think skype is not working on wm 6.1.
So just use fring which works perfect on the diamond

skype works without any problems on my diamond with bepe's bElite0.52 ROM.
disable touchflo3d in the today-settings before installing skype. afterwards go back to today settings, uncheck the skype-plugin and re-enable touchflo3d. maybe this works...

Try Fring

Ori,
Both your questions have already been asked and answered. Please use Search, I'm sure you will find the information you need.
I'll just give you the short answer concerning TF3D: it can't be customized in any useful way.

Opera defbrowser, etc... need a little help!

I've succesfully edited the DEFBROWSER, HTTP: & URL: in registry to make Opera open stuff by default.
Even RSS Hub started open links in Opera after I changed the http: value in the registry.
There's one thing that refuse to open with Opera, it's in contacts, I mean the browse webpage in contacts (those who have website). I hope you understand what I mean... Please help me find out how to change this from PIE to Opera, I don't want to do a hard reset just because of a small issue like this...

help. i want to set opera mini as my main browser.

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...
