Opera Mini Blog

An even better browsing experience awaits you on Tuesday, June 19th

, ,

Preparations for the new Opera Mini beta, code named ‘Dimension’ are entering the final stretch.

Next Tuesday (June 19th), just 4 days from now, is when we'll release our baby, the new Opera Mini beta, to the world. Browsing the web with Opera Mini is about to become even easier and more enjoyable.

Our developers and QA teams have been working real hard at making Opera Mini the best possible mobile browser. We’re so excited, that we can't stop talking about it. We’ve been talking to journalist, bloggers, select users, and influential web developers (of course under embargo) about Opera Mini. Many of our executives are now on a worldwide press tour, showing off the mini (sic) browser.

We’re extremely proud of what we’ve done in bringing life to the mobile web. No more are you limited to mobile-only (i.e. WAP) websites or required to have a phone with high processing/memory capabilities to browse the real web. We believe that when web developers build websites for it to work on the web, it should work on the ‘Web’ – wherever the web is, including your mobile phone.

We can’t wait till Tuesday – just 4 days! party

Soon...Very soon.

I've deduced from the posting times, this is not an accidental flood. sherlock If it is, he'll delete it.

Ameerameer1234567890 Saturday, June 16, 2007 5:42:46 PM

So, its a public beta? What about the misleading blog posts about signing up for beta testing? Any answers????

Ameerameer1234567890 Saturday, June 16, 2007 5:45:44 PM

Oh! How many times was it? Yes, it was accidental. May be I shouldnt have deleted.

Dark FurieFurie Saturday, June 16, 2007 6:10:30 PM

knight Was just making sure. lol lol

Daniel Goldmandanigoldman Sunday, June 17, 2007 2:03:11 PM

@DjiXas: Thanks for the correction.

@ameer1234567890: We've never said that it will be a closed beta. Go back and look at the announcement on this blog and on the Opera Mini beta page. When you can sign up, you will receive an alert when the beta is ready. Hope that clears things up. Those who signed up for email alerts were first to get the details on the release date -- it wasn't posted here until a couple days later.

tileeater Sunday, June 17, 2007 9:52:53 PM

FYI. I signed up and never got a notice.

TCChuinctcctcctc Monday, June 18, 2007 2:25:27 AM

FavDjiXas Monday, June 18, 2007 8:15:55 AM

tileeater, use other email provider. I basically don't know any good or bad as I have my own.

But I am sure, that this one http://operamail.com/ will work ;-)

Satya Ranjan Mishrasranjanm2002 Monday, June 18, 2007 11:18:10 AM

tileeater Monday, June 18, 2007 5:45:12 PM

My mail account is and always has been very reliable. Looked in spam, not there. I just didn't get the notice. I don't think it sent.

Signed up again using another reliable account...

:happy:India is waiting for new Dimension!

Riyadhbm.riyadh Tuesday, June 19, 2007 1:23:31 AM

It's 07.22AM Bangladesh time (+6 GMT) Opera Mini dimension beta still not available.

Inst Tuesday, June 19, 2007 1:43:31 AM

I'm presuming that the Opera Mini team is headquartered in... Norway, right? The land of resource inflation from North Sea oil decreasing overall economic competitiveness. They probably will set up launch around 10 am their time, enough to have been in the office long enough to set up their launch party. Since Norway is +2 GMT, if memory serves properly, we're another 8 hours off from launch.

Goutam Mandalgoutam68 Tuesday, June 19, 2007 3:01:25 AM

Today 19th june , tuesday , Dimension till not arrived at station. Late running!

allexclusive.peperonity.comallexclusive Tuesday, June 19, 2007 4:07:27 AM

mini 3.34 could not connect with proxy like opera 8.6 using fr*e gprs. Hope this one will do

Daniel Goldmandanigoldman Tuesday, June 19, 2007 4:14:38 AM

Inst, the main development of Opera Mini takes place in Opera's Sweden office.

Inst Tuesday, June 19, 2007 4:22:42 AM

Ewww, what an embarassingly faux pas. I wish Scandinavian regional enmity was like Far Eastern regional enmity, where everyone is either condescending or hateful of everyone else. That way, I wouldn't be left alone in the wrong, I'd be in the company of a batch of despicable ultranationalists.

ChuChu-nx Tuesday, June 19, 2007 5:35:20 AM

Hey, this is a 19th june. Where is the dimension? confused

ChuChu-nx Tuesday, June 19, 2007 5:42:06 AM

??????!

Inst Tuesday, June 19, 2007 5:54:54 AM

Opera's a Norwegian company, with offices in at least Sweden. Whoops.

Anthony Mnotyaniam Tuesday, June 19, 2007 6:55:22 AM

tik tak tik tak... still counting. Geez, and still counting.

Ameerameer1234567890 Tuesday, June 19, 2007 7:08:25 AM

Keep on counting. 1, 2, 3,... Once you reach 100, start again. Repeat this a hundred times and its on ur screen. The magic works. Aaag...

Inst Tuesday, June 19, 2007 7:29:55 AM

Assuming that you're not a robot planning to play the 1,2,3... Sound files to 100 within a second, people count an average of 4 numbers a second. So, one round gives you 25 seconds. 2.17 rounds is a minute, there's 1440 minutes in a day, count from 1 to 100 3000 times. Then it'll appear on your screen.

Vivekvivek_jaikar2000 Tuesday, June 19, 2007 7:34:57 AM

Its 1 pm in india
where is the dimension ?

ChuChu-nx Tuesday, June 19, 2007 9:04:22 AM

Any body see the dimension? cry
