We're working on the Hebrew support, but we haven't finished yet.

Thank you! Just waiting for it to download,which is taking forever...can't wait!

notes r real nice improvement but im so disapointed []
it seems just a 1-feature release (ignoring d skins). we hav such a great OPERA MINI WISHLIST thread n just 1 wish (skin) fulfilled!! n tat sumwhere down d line priority wise..
i was hoping to get performance , productivity n interface improvents after such delay in launching a new version such as better download manager or any of the thousands little but great features requested by the operamini users from around the globe..
well im really happy with the notes feature (although it could be more evolved to be really useful) but i wish myself and other opera-mini users and the opera-mini developers all the best for next time..
pesonally, m not thrilled with this release..mayb bcoz its a minor release..but then, the release cycle is soooooo long...

thnx to d opera-mini team anyway for this release

When will OperaMini add support for XHTML "accesskey" attribute?? It is very useful in mobile web pages!!!

Ok. Thanks.

Probably never, as we use the keys for other stuff.

is there any chance of new features being added into the final version? or only these features will b improved at most?
by the way, the interface is definitely more responsive..scrolling is faster even in pages tat almost hanged OM earlier.. cheers!!

Hi, first I wanna thank for the best S60 browser to date, (I've also used Opera as my main pc browser for years now). My concern is that what happened to landscape mode? Theres no landscape enable/disable at Settings-screen anymore like in previous version im using (4.1.11320). Im using Nokia N82 and landscape worked before like a charm.

Sad to hear that. OperaMini could(should) exploit device capabilities supporting accesskeys W3C Recommendation. Some mobile web sites, following W3C Recommendations, already use and show accesskeys values to the user, but they are useless with OperaMini. This creates a bad user experience.

I ain't seen much change so far but maybe I need a little more time. However it is good to see improvements in life.

Just awesome new version. Thank you.

You just forgot one important skin colour: metallic blue.

Congrats for the new beta guys! I'll test it as soon as possible

i've been using global test version, and i'm using 4.2 now didn't notice much change yet, probably to soon still to give feed back.

how do i change skins?

Skin selection is available under Menu -> Tools -> Settings

Black skin looks awfully with it's red progressbar...

the silver is nice

I'm an Opera Mini fan but sincerely every time I see a new release
it's always harder to find new features...

Sincerely I can't see new features in this release,
since skin in not a new fetures and the others are mostly a bug fixes or a small add instead of a new features...

Hope to see some really new features in the next release
Thanks Opera and have a good work.

@sblantipodi, manustays: stop whining about features, FFS! It's a minor release. What did you expect? It has a few new features. If you aren't happy with them and don't think they "count", tough. But stop whining about it. Stop being ungrateful, and stop demanding things.

i second that gojoego, say thanx you guys

@ manustays im not being a snob, i just want to say this.. 4.2 is still new so lets try it for a couple of days and then complain, i'm sure there will probably be complaints/criticism from me in the next few days or so.. i dont want to fight plz

huh where's manustays post?

Its not about being ungrateful. i already thanked them n m an all time opera user on pc n mobile. ur being so grateful wont help the product or d community. i think this is wat this thread is all about - feedback. u better post relevent things in the thread n stop being a snob

@Marike79:
sorry it wasnt intended 4u
m surfing on mobile so quoted wrongly by mistake i guess..
it was 4d msg above urs n there s nothing wrong with honest feedback i guess..

I hv been checking evryday 4d new version n ws real excited to get this version..hence my disappointment i guess..but its definitely much better..m using it myself fulltime..no hard feelings

@manustays ok cool

How do I access notes? Can't see it anywhere in the menu

yea, when i first downloaded 4.2 i saw the notes but now they are gone, maybe i'm doing something wrong?

i finally found it in the bookmarks section, but now it's gone.

what's up with that

May be you have signed out of 'Synchronize Opera'. Notes are not available 'offline'.

thats where i found mine also and now its also gone !!?

Thaks opera mini team 4 making us happy

i cant open my mails in Hotmail OM 4.2 ??
any idea if it will be solved soon in OM 4.2

1. I really want tabbed browsing... I don't understand how hard is it to implement this feature while some of the mobile browser is offering this feature already (eg. UCWEB, a J2ME app. from China). Perhaps there are some difficulties in tabpage management?

2. I am now testing OM 4.2 Beta on my SonyEricsson Z610i. Frankly speaking, when browsing a local forum (in Hong Kong S.A.R.), the response time is the same as when I am using OM 4.1; browsing other websites is fine, but there are still random freezing of loading progress.

3. I have tried browsing YouTube, it successfully passed the link to built-in media player, and I can watch video clips.

4. The skin is nice, I am using the black one.

Short summary: Not much improved when compared to OM 4.1, and I think there is still room for improvement for a beta product, especially when OM 4.1 has been released for a long time. Anyway, it is good to see the update from Opera!

As a minor release this is good. Editing long notes works just fine on my phone(nokia 5320).
Just cant figure out what was that popular wish that was fulfilled

Originally posted by Okra:

Yes, Opera Mini 4.2 is a minor release, containing mostly bug fixes and one or two features by popular request.

Oh btw, thanks for adding my phone to the download server. No more ugly icons

Issue with Cyrillic letters in "Find in page" (big letters isn't equal to small) is not fixed still.

Can't install 4.2 Beta on a Nokia 6110 Navigator (S60 3rd with Opera mini 4.1 running) Installation begins, howewer terminates with error message: Installation not possible.

Regards

1. Orkut in full mode?
2. Tabbed browsing?

I will test too!!
Two quick things:
1. Thanks for skins, silver is great!
2. When I set font to small, my native - polish - letters are still not supported.
Also, due to changes Hotmail made to their accounts, Hotmail is not possible to be seen.
Do you have any idea about it??

This version is not signed up There is necessity for confirming internet access every time it is started... BTW it works on Nokia 6120 classic.

hi all

when i add a bookmark, it adds it fine. but when i try to use the shortcut or to look for it at the bookmark section, it isnt there.

@manustays: how on earth does a couple of guys whining that the features they wanted didn't make it "help the product"? It won't. They are obviously not looking for pointless whining, they are looking for feedback on the actual version they released!


@Gundamdriver: what, because it doesn't add the features you won't, "not much is improved"? Laughable

@ The mini team: Good work! Thank you!


Haavard! Call your hound! He's annoying everyone today!

Facebook is still buggy regarding not being able to select most links. Other than that 4.2b works great.

Thanks, all the way from Down Under!

Is there ever going to be actual text and pictures on the full page view? (I am using a Palm Treo 755 with JVM) The screen resolution supports it and makes viewing sites on full page mode useless unless its a site you visit often and know where everything is.


How about a smooth zoom in and zoom out feature?




I like the skinning feaure with the exception of the progress bar which is still red. Maybe a more neutral color or maybe one to match each skin?


I'll report back after some more usage. This is just first impression.

Keep up the good work. Even though Palm has abandoned us you guys are still makeing Opera mini for us.



*EDIT*


I wasnt expecting this betas ability to perform the function of launching the media player to work, and to my surprise a youtube link opened up Kinoma Player for me on my treo!


I'm really impressed great work on that one.

It would be nice if when playing the video after it returns to Opera mini to put you at the page where you last left off though. Is it possible?



Some of the scrolling side to side displays are choppy and the menu seems to flicker on and off while scrolling to select an item.

*EDIT*

Than you !
4.2 synched fine from 4.1
Skins are grat ! ( maybe you should use silver buttons (for shortcuts) on
the black skin - red ones are not so readable and are a little tacky )
I second request fot Notes shortcut on the main screen ( or in the menu )

@ariuszym - I think you should go to mini.opera.com/beta on your phone and download it with default browser.
You should see the link with "signitures" or something like that ...

@tranced - it is working fine for me ( SE P990 ).

edit : tranced,If you add a bookmark and assign it to a Speed dial position, it will not show in the main bookmark list. Look for it in the Speed Dial list.

In my case on my SE P1i Silver skin has a great grey progess bar.
