Why Doesn't My Phone Support OM5

I have used opera mini since it began way back in 2005. I loved the fact that I could enter any site that I desired and it still hasn't changed and thats great. But has changed is for some reason the newly released version of opera mini(OM5) does not support most java phones but runs well on most symbian and latest smart phones. Im confused Im using a Samsung U800 soul b which can download OM5 but m.opera.com tells that my phone does not meet the requirements to support OM5, why. Is OM5 meant for symbian smart phones or all phones that are java and above? I did manage to get OM5 on Samsung U800 and found out that it does run with a couple of major bugs. 1.Slow to scroll on the start page/too slow to register after pressing or doing an action whilst on the start page. 2.Cannot view pages that are saved, when I click go nothing happens. Appart from those errors I would like to report that everything including network connection, fonts and feeds are fuctioning perfectly. And what I love more is that OM J does not crash handles quite normally when running multi tabs. Will there be another release of OM5 to support phones like Samsung U800 or maybe quite possibly a major bug fix? Thank You!

Mini 5 requires much more resources (RAM and CPU) than older versions. I don't know why - after all, the "unofficial" mods could have many tabs with no performance loss - but it is so, and I guess you're stuck with v4.

But then, even Windows 7 is faster than Vista, so a miracle might happen in Opera secret lair too smile ...you'll probably have a new phone when Mini 6 is released, though.

Well I really hope that the opera mini team has something under its sleeve cause I hate to see myself posting here using bolt browser. But hey (lol) I will wait.
