OperaMini 5.2 beta review by moan with me :)
Thursday, 17. December 2009, 11:25:00
Hi!
Some issues are widely known some aren't but why not give it a chance and try!
Maybe some big-Opera fish would read it, who knows...
First impression, it looks nicer. Icon is far more better. It's not the one from OperaMobile but it's decent enough.
OperaMini tries to become OperaMobile-look-like. I don't like that really, but I think the masses are happy with it. So no accusation in that.
It took me some time to figure out how to get rid off pre-instaled speeddial bookmarks. You have to press and hold, so that little editing menu could appear.
You can see a screen shot form previous OperaMini 5.0. Mark the red bar at the top of it. In Beta it is better
I access the Internet through GPRS connection most of the time - it costs ! At first sight OM 5 beta downloads the same amount of data as previous versions. Unfortunately, it isn't true. On OM 4.2 you could go backwards until the very first page you downloaded in this session. In OperaMini 5 beta you can go backwards a few pages only. I say NO to the limited history !
What is more, to decrease data downloaded I use saved pages. In version 4.2 saved pages were put at the bottom of the main page. In opera 5.2 you have to go Menu/Another Menu/Saved Pages/Your saved page .
Why can't I add my saved page to speed dial? Why can't I hot-key my saved page ? Why can't I add my bookmarks to speed dial ? These questions remain a mistery.
Why can't I add my bookmarks manually? asked one on OM forums. Actually, you can ! 1)Go to a random page 2) Select Menu/Find Bookmarks in Menu under the action buttons/ Add random page . And then, you just change your Bookmark Title and the Internet Address to the one you really want to
OperaMini 5.2 can't remain connected !
Yes, OM 4.2 can stay connected to GPRS for hours ( while not use connection is paused, but no disconnected). In new beta version you have to chose your Internet connection every 15 minutes or so. And I got confirmation it isn't my problem only.
Summary, IN BETA BETTER!But still Opera Mini 4.2 owns it

Nokia E63 + Opera products review
Sunday, 29. November 2009, 21:06:26
Hi there!
I've become an owner of new E63. And I really enjoy it. I got few things to say though.
Sometimes when I press the menu button, a black rectangle appears but the menu doesnt pop up. Got to restart your Nokia.
Battery, it has BP-4L battery, but mine can't keep working for more than 2 days. I think a warranty service would do sth about it.
Loose Plug,have you seen E63 from above? it has mini-jack (headphones standart) and it's protected against some dirt etc. by a rubber plug. It's loose! Probability of loosing a small loose part is unfortunate.
What about opera?
Opera Mini4.2 hmm I use it on daily basis because of the amount of data transfered ( GPRS,3G costs are lower). The problem is when you use f.e WiFi connection and you try to connect through WAP/GPRS alternative. After choosing a connection you want to use - nothing will happen, as if you had no Internet connection at all. Closing and reopening opera is the only choice.
Opera Mobile 10.00
It has not-mobile key funcions ( try to type some digit or other character while typing a password )
Connection problems - especially when using Opera Turbo..it simply does not work.
I found some articles about Opera Mobile and WIDGETS. Yes you're right widgets.
but try to go to http://widgets.opera.com/
Only 3 out of 17 Opera's recommended Widgets work on mobiles. And which ones? TETRIS - can I ask you, who would use Opera-Tetris-Widget on mobile phone? Especially when there's whole bunch of free tetris Java games, SiS games on the Internet...
Next one, Analog Clock, simple but maybe useful. Or it would be if it could stay always on top. Giving you the opportunity of arranging you workspace. I cant work it out, and still can't run it ( and other widgets) on my Opera Mobile . Third one, Twitter OW. I don't use twitter, I do not twitt, but I think this one ciuld be very useful and functional for those who have twitter accounts. The same goes with Facebook widget I found.
What Would I change: (or add)
- optional saving page with forms filled
- fixing all the above problems
- let saved pages be put into bookmarks ( or just to assign shortkey f.i *4 like bookmarks are assigned)
At the ending I'd like to add. There's no other option - OPERA HAS THE MOBILE INTERNET ! HAIL TO IT
Any comments?

Long time no see ?
I want to share with my blocking filters. For Polish people preferably, but it works on almost every international page.
To start with urlfilter.ini
you may get one here
I suggest you should built your filer on your own, so suit your needs.
To place whole filter go to \Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Opera\Opera
or Tools/Advanced/Blocked Content and add filters one by one
You may also block your unwanted ads by modifying css style.
I removed adkontekst ads by saving

as x.css
than Right click/ Page Preferences / Display / x.css

Hi there!
(if anyone would read it)
If there's any possibility you'd like to know what's up...
I'm collecting points on Lockerz.com . I doubt in those prizes to reedem, but still it's nice thought to get some stuff from there. Anyone want an invitation?
Send me a PM or post e-mail in the comments. Or what ever
I found something that may be interesting...Linkbucks.com. It's for people who link, run blogs and for that they are rewarded.
For views and clicks GoogleAdsense pays more ( I think) but it can be a good complement for website runners.My referral http://www.linkbucks.com/referral/150276
The program preferates ppl from US/CA/UK but if you make traffic with those countries it's not so bad.
Performance Score 47% What does this mean?
I have earned $0.0078 USD so far but it's not so bad for a noob like me.
That's enough business for now.
I made my speed dial background.It's my better half

I'd like to write a little reply to Joseph D. Lien article
http://my.opera.com/jdlien/blog/2009/09/14/10-reasons-not-to-use-opera-as-your-browser
I found at least 5 major reasons NOT to use OPERA as browser.
1) COMPABILITY
Opera browser does not cooperate with majority of websites. To make Opera users lives more miserable, your browser doesn't allow you to play many browser based games. Even if it does, there are always problems with pages displayed. When creating your own website, don't check it with Opera.It's hard to say but you have to check it out in IE:yikes:
2) You'd like to have some plugins ? Not in Opera
Opera has many plugins already installed ( Turbo,Link,BlockContent,Dragonfly etc.) but you have no option to manage your plugins. FF users have a great deal of plugins to choose from and they can manage it freely.
3) Open Source
Opera isn't opened. I always thought it was good. Because Opera Software gave their program for free.No charges, no adware. On the other hand, I've noticed that many programs that became open source started developing in tremendous speed. And I don't mean FireFox only. What Opera needs is get a real community, a community that can change Opera in a ways to it keep up with the community expectations.
4)No integration with your OS
My beloved Opera browser should be more integrated with OS, just to distinguish its settings, should acknowledge f.i default applications. I want to listen to some livestream radio and what I always have to look up my default application ( default to that type of "file") Foobar. Of course Opera is still trying to convince me that Media Player is way better
5) Want some slow motion? use Opera
Opera Turbo is a great thing. What I mean in paragraph title is, thespeed of program. It is not a light browser anymore. Opera uses over 30 % more memory on your PC. I also did the researches with other browser with the same tabs open.The result was :TURTLISH
Fortunately, Opera 10 is faster than beta and faster than it's previous versions. I tend to get very mad in moment in which I had to do something at once, but I had to wait for my scripts to load..it took centuries. Hope, further versions will get even faster.
I even hope someone will read this,just a bit please. If you have read it
thank you and if you have any suggestions feel free to drop a comment.
Cheers

It's about time to change something in order to make my blog easier to read.
To start with, I'm gonna write in English
To sum up my previous posts:
1) there are some problems with uploading photographs on my.opera (especially with flash form)
2) Even uploaded photos are not always displayed in album ( some photo below)
3) One cannot upload animated gifs to album (but even blogspot has problems with it), when added there's no animation
4) One cannot upload images directly from you PC while writting a blog-post (blog has no such option)
Any further suggestions?
