Its nice. It LOOKS nicer than the default O2 browser, and somewhat works better - well, at first, at least. Fullscreen modes are excellent.
One major fault I found is that when I scroll down, it keeps jumping to the start of the page... or in the menus, removes the menu. Now, that could possibly be my joystick on my Sony Ericsson K750 - since moving it 'left' is taking the page to home, and 'right' to the end, with up and down being scroll, respectively. But, it could also be a bug in the browser... or that the browser is über sensitive to the movement of the joystick, because I dont get that problem elsewhere.
A feature I would like added, which even the O2 default browser supports, is the ability to save images to your phone. That would be nice.
One last thing, is the 'Worldwide Release' bringing users the latest version? (ie, a more recent build than v1.0.1479)

Isn't the whole point of Opera Mini that you don't need a smartphone? It's supposed to run on almost any Java-enabled phone.

mobileIE doesnt allow me to download it
I know that there is no built-in java machine, but there are many 3rd party VM's that i can install. Could you please do something to allow smartphones' IE to download it?

You've made me use the internet for the first time (longer than 5
minutes that is) on my mobile phone. This is great stuff. I am
affraid my mobile phonebill will explode or leave a big dent in my
doormat next month. But I don't care. I am a happy guy.

I have always been of the mind that mobile browsing- especially on the phone is not a viable option. I guess I should have tried it before I knocked it. I still think overall- it's not something you should when you are bored- but there are some killer uses for it... Opera does it well. I have one request- but I'm going to take it to the wish list for better visibility.
I recieved a low memory error- I hit ignore (or something) and the page seemed to load fine.. but it's got me a bit worried.
I like that the community pages are easily accessible from the start page.

Yes, I said Gmail. Have a try!
I use a Siemens MC60 mobile phone, and I'd like to point some things:
- This phone doesn't have left and right buttons, so I can't scroll page up and page down.
- It would be nice do add some features that use the numeric keypad to scroll, like did a shareware browser, Webviewer (not available anymore). Let's say: 2 and 8 to line-up/line-down, 1 and 9 to page-up/page-down, 3 and 7 to home/end, 5 to click, and so on. I know there are some numeric shortcuts at Opera Mini you can access pressing the # key, but you could go beyond this, right?
(Or is Opera Mini reserving numeric shortcuts to work as accesskeys on links/form fields? I usually press numeric keys on Opera Mini and nothing happens, unless the cursor is in an editable field.)
I'm not afraid about billing the little kilobytes Opera Mini gets from network for each page view. I'm amazed by the way Opera converts webpages into little code.
See you on the beach! :-D

YES!
"Saved to Applications. Shop again?"
NO! I want to play with 2277, not this 147whatever crap that I had before!
And, I don't want to go digging for Sprint's price gouging apps...

I live in Australia and my phone provider is Telstra... I doubt they'll be much help to me. I'll probably spend more time waiting on the phone than I really have, so I guess I'll just have to deal.
I'm very excited for this, though! It's definitely faster than the built-in browser, and a little easier to use. It's a shame my screen is so small!

I think it's a server side problem wich will be fixed soon i hope.

"An unexpected error occurred. Your browsing experience might be limited" generally means that you need to access internet on Opera Mini with an internet profile. Please have a look in our forum at http://my.opera.com/community/forums/forum.dml?id=111 where you will find more information about this.
