Opera Mini 5 beta

Wednesday, September 16, 2009 6:08:06 AM

Who knew mobile browsing could be so easy?

By now you've heard the buzz around Opera Mini 5. You may be wondering what the big deal is. Get ready to experience the best and easiest way to get connected on your mobile phone. Your mobile browsing experience on the intertubes will never be the same again! Yes, we know these are large claims, but we can definitely back them up, after you experience Opera Mini 5 we know you will agree.

The purpose of doing a beta is testing. Opera Mini 5 has been in development for a long time and we feel it's about time to push the product live and let you take it for a spin. We rely heavily on your feedback to polish it for the final release. Please report, read and take action in the forums.

The browser is of course a free download. Simply point your phone to http://m.opera.com/next and download it. For more information we urge you to check out either Choose Opera or http://www.opera.com/mini.

"In our own research, we have learned that the number-one reason people use Opera Mini is because it is easy - easy to use the Web you know."

Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software

Dan Alexandrudantesoft # Wednesday, September 16, 2009 6:23:57 AM

Nice! Waiting for the secret super yet-to-be-mentioned features

Tapaninyc # Wednesday, September 16, 2009 6:25:21 AM

Hmmm... I cannot find a way to sychronize the bookmarks I have saved w/4.2

Julius Agung R.mysuperjulius # Wednesday, September 16, 2009 6:36:41 AM

I have problem here. I've downloaded operamini 5, but it wont work on my nokia 6600. Is there some way to solve this? Thanks, i love opera.

Tapaninyc # Wednesday, September 16, 2009 6:49:45 AM

Pressing * or # does not bring up the menu of options, will need to open help to see what key does what. No apparent way to clear shortcuts, I accidentally found it can be done by pressing '1'

imarooned # Wednesday, September 16, 2009 6:50:14 AM

It's great stuff !

But one question - where is synchronisation button/link ?
I can't find one...and don't feel like manually adding all bookmarks,search engines,etc

Yeah,why the tips for shortcuts are gone ?

edit: Ok,now I've read in the forum that the synchronisation is unavailable in beta.
I don't think it's good idea. I'm not likely to often test 5 while the 4.2 holds all my bookmarks and all that stuff. Anyway, great work!

I really really like this new Browser... It runs beautifully on my BB 8900.... However, Until such time as I get the option of whether or not I want the browser to be the default I will be uninstalling it. Come on guys, that was kinda not cool.

Do you correspond to WM6 Standard Edition?

Osman YukselYuXeL # Wednesday, September 16, 2009 7:26:33 AM

Tabs, Speed dial and password manager

That makes Opera mini a complete browser

IvanNiGhtPiSH # Wednesday, September 16, 2009 7:46:56 AM

Oh hell yes! This is what I was waiting for. Make it work on Android and iPhone OS and the world will be a much, much better place! Btw there are a couple of AppStore approved browsers for download for iPhone!

Morten Horntvedt ByomZnore # Wednesday, September 16, 2009 7:48:23 AM

ick, doesn't run on my LG KU990

Its very nice... Thanks to opera team!

Daned4n3 # Wednesday, September 16, 2009 7:51:42 AM

It's incredible and stunningly beautiful

Tabs, speed dial, password manager, the only thing missing now is AJAX support...

Pavliy RostislavAvatar2005 # Wednesday, September 16, 2009 7:54:43 AM

Wohho!
Yey! waiting for a final

MartinSnapphane # Wednesday, September 16, 2009 8:06:42 AM

SWEEET! Will forward this info to all of my friends

NicoHellbillyDeluxe # Wednesday, September 16, 2009 8:10:55 AM

Too bad that we will probably never see it for the iPhone / iPod touch

.

But nevertheless, it looks really, really great

.

Will it be available for the Palm Pre in the near future?

Matt Hammondmeh106 # Wednesday, September 16, 2009 8:15:26 AM

very nice slick new interface. loving having tabs at last :-) however am finding scrolling/panning extremely slow and jerky compared to 4.2 wshich was smooth and fast. I'm uisng a SE P1i. also, typing this comment using Mini 5 beta, I'm finding there's no way to put in a carriage return char. cheers!

bahumat # Wednesday, September 16, 2009 8:15:52 AM

It's really beautiful and works great on my SE W880i! Thanks a lot!
