Designing With Opera Mini in Mind
How can you web pages work better with Opera Mini? This article gives a quick overview over how Opera Mini differs from other browsers and how you use this.( Read the article )
Hi, do you have any tips for working with images, specifically sizing?
I am specifying my image sizes using % and em, in a browser this works nice as they are always proportional to the text/zoom size as expected.
I was hoping the same would work on opera mini, but it don't seem to take any notice. Even with @media handheld, it seems to default to the small screen renderer.
Is it possible to do proportional images?

Opera Mini always applies its reformatting, which is based on Opera's CSSR technology (though it has a few differences). It will apply it to screen media if you have no handheld, and to handheld if you have it. But in all cases, it will apply it, and currently there is nothing you can do about that, unfortunately. Perhaps that will change in future versions, but we will have to wait and see what happens in future releases.

I have a WML/XHTML site (redirects to type depending on the phone). It uses some very simple tables etc. However, neither appear to render well in Opera Mini. Does Opera Mini only handle HTML? Do I need to do another version in HTML?
How about using image maps?.. 
Main browser and mail: 9.27 • Secondary: 10.63 (still has annoying UI regressions: inability to detach tab normally, passes source file w/o extension to external editors)

As the simple person I am I need samples of how one can make nice sites for Opera Mini (or phone sized screens in general).
Reading the advice is not enough, I want to see some really nicely done sites. I need to get ideas.
I think everything I have surfed by up to now looks like VAX before Netscape...
Can someone please get some links to nice sites so I can see what's possible?
Thanks a million times!

See the <a href="http://www.operamini.com/">Opera Mini pages</a>. It allows you to browse conveniently on your phone (assuming that your phone supports Java and you have a data connection, which most phones do these days). You really should download it, chances are you'll like it.

I use seznam.cz myself from time to time, but I don't have an email account there. I'd recommend the <a href="http://my.opera.com/community/forums/forum.dml?id=111">Opera Mini</a> forum for these kind of questions.

Is there a way to get the name of the phone/device using Opera Mini? Or even better, the device's screen dimensions, color depth, etc...
Hi, I have the same thought. Any idea on it? And how to detect the HTTP variables?
