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.

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

But nevertheless, it looks really, really great smile.

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

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!

That's some good stuff on my N86 smile The beta already works like a charm. Btw, how do you edit entries on the Speed Dial? Couldn't find the option to remove a site from it.

Morten Horntvedt ByomZnore Wednesday, September 16, 2009 9:05:15 AM

There is a Iphone version being developed internally, but Apple will say no due to competition with their Safari browser.

АлексейNephilim-sh Wednesday, September 16, 2009 9:06:53 AM
