bookmarklets, pdf
It is incredible how innovative end users can be! Just give enough time for community of nerds and they will create all kinds of things to make everyday tasks easier. One of the things I have wished for long time is to be able to display PDF files as HTML pages. This has been particularly difficult on Opera Mini because one jus't couldn't easily copy the URL address of PDF files for online conversion services.

general, opera community
Coup of Opera Mini fans was clearly not a success. People don't need another forum outside from
official Opera Mini forum. Moreover, I've been kindly requested to make it more clear this group is not affiliated in any way with Opera Software. Therefore I will take some actions to make the difference more explicit.
I will close the
Opera Mini fan forums gradually, because it really has been very very quite there. Then I'm going to change the layout so it would not look like official Opera Mini forum and
blog. This Opera Mini fans' group blog still remains, in case any of our group members would like to write something. However, I will also make this group more restricted. New members have to be accepted by moderators and posting articles on blog will be allowed only for group members. Commenting will still stay allowed for all MyOpera members.

features, memory, flash
Year after year people keep asking Adobe Flash or Flash Lite supported on Opera Mini. And year after year others try to explain why Opera Mini is better of without Flash. Here's once again my modest attempt to explain things.

features, alternative browsers
Here's my modest attempt to review currently available J2ME browsers. This review is based on October 2009 situation, when BOLT has finally left the beta stage. I have selected three following J2ME browsers: BOLT 1.5, Opera Mini 4.2, and UCWEB 6.3. Definitely things will change when new versions are coming out, especially when Opera Mini 5 final is going to be released. Maybe I'm going to write new reviews also later on, now that I have formed some sort of standard for what and how to measure differences between J2ME browsers.

features, bookmarklets
You may already know bookmarklets can be used on Opera Mini. At least I have tried to do my best to advertise WapReview article '
Bookmarklets for Opera Mini' by Dennis. Using bookmarklets is possible because Opera Mini support javascript very well. Therefore you can use javascript also in bookmarks like listed at

opera link, opera mini, opera community
You may have noticed
Opera 9.5 Tell a Friend contest. So, I take this as a opportunity to:
1) Advertise
tell a friend contest (participate and win)
2) Shamelessly promote
Opera 9.5 to all who have PC/MAC and who for some strange reason still does not use Opera 9.5.
3) Brazenly tout
Opera Link, which really deserve more of your attention, if you want to expand your experience on all possibilities that Opera Link can offer when using Opera Mini 4 browsers.
4) Eagerly keep your attention focused on Opera Mini fan
blog and
forum, so they would not just fade away.
5) And more bold reasons probably coming here, so stay tuned

bookmarks, opera link
Now that
Opera 9.5 for desktop browsers is finally officially released it's also time to give a few advices before you rush using it together with
Opera Links and Opera Mini 4.
Once you have taken the new Opera browser in use, just select 'File > Synchronize Opera...' from menu bar. Then, when you open a new tab on Opera 9.5, you get the same speeddials as you have on your Opera Mini 4 browser's start page. Moreover, you get access to all your other Opera Mini bookmarks via Opera 9.5 bookmarks, and all your Opera 9.5 desktop bookmarks will be accessible via Opera Mini 4 browser's bookmarks page.

features, memory, testing
One frequently repeated question at official
Opera Mini forum is the amount of memory needed by Opera Mini. Very understandably OM team does not reveal much details and phone manufacturers usually don't tell much either. Usually on manufacturers Web sites only the size of phone's flash memory is told, but the size of so called heap (RAM) memory is hardly ever mentioned. Moreover, it is very unclear how this heap memory is allocated to different phone tasks. In this article I try to explain a little how memory is used while running Java midlet's like Opera Mini.

opera mini, Symbian S60, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry
In my last (and, now, heavily outdated)
article on making Opera Mini 4 be invoked on by just clicking a URL, I’ve already elaborated on the advantages of doing this (and, actually, the advantages of Opera Mini 4 itself). Please do read it if you want to know why making use of direct invocation can be really advantageous.
Because there’s a lot of news worth reporting on (and I’ve been asked by
Serola to join the
Opera Mini Fan Blog as the first blogger, because of which I've decided to update this really important tutorial) and the original article didn’t elaborate on other mobile platforms like Symbian and BlackBerry, I’ve decided to devote an entirely new article to this question.
