Thank you for your hard work guys

I love the landcape view

Any possibility to get a version for Nokia 2600?

I love it, however it seems the key combo for landscape does nothing on a Blackberry 7100.

Landscape also doesn't work on Blackberry 8100 (Pearl)

Love the BB menu integration!

Landscape, i was waiting for this feature. Works fine on my SE K800i. Thank you guys.

That Beta rocks! And landscape mode is sweet. :)

Hi,

when downloading via WAP I get the high-res icon, but when using the Nokia Application installer I just get a few pixels as icon.
Beside that...great! :-)

This is much better . No crashes at all, and only one cookie problem in 3 hours

I've already logged in on my phone (Samsung A900) with OM4b2. I'm trying to add a comment to this page, but it keeps on giving me a "Login failed" message. What's going on?

Anyway, I was trying to comment that that's a very nice list of features. Landscape mode rocks!

Downloading...

PS: Vote this story 'up the vine' at Newsvine.

A very nifty solution to those who deplored the Google removal. Nice to see extra small font again. Predictive text problems seem to be fixed. Landscape view probably ok for right-handers, but not the truly-gifted. Browser seems faster. Can we have RSS feeds next, please? Thanks a lot

Tried this beta 2 on my Nokia 3230 and got pretty much the same results as with the first beta:

After starting the browser it gets stuck on "Installing" and after a while it freezes the _whole phone_! Have to remove the battery to reset. The previous beta also got stuck "loading" and resulted the same full device freeze.

It's quite funny since never before has _any_ program froze my phone this bad...not java or native symbian app...at least the "power" button has always helped me out but not with opera mini 4 beta... Shame, I would love to test these new features..

It crashes when I try to open the login page of my bank.

Thanks for you work.

Nokia 6230 (not i). On previous tested Opera Minis (3, 4b1) small font didn’t display cyrillics, so I had to use medium font. 4b2 does not display cyrillics even in medium, so I have to use large, which is too bad for 128x128 display. Any chance this will get fixed back in the final? Thanks.

Also, how can I install back 4 beta 1 for now? Because I had no problems with it and there’s no use of landscape on 128x128 as you may have guessed :-)

BlackBerry devices can't handle landscape mode, unfortunately.

This version is way improved than the previous Beta 1; and so far there are no major problems with my Nokia 6230i

Crashes if clicking Accept after install.
Using Siemens C75.

I can not try the beta 2, but with simulator i found a bug:
In the simulator a hungarian specify character: "ő", can not see:
Here is a screenshot: http://opera.extra.hu/e107_plugins/autogallery/Gallery/Kepek/opera_mini_4_beta/indexsimulator.jpg
Or see the www.fn.hu, with mini 4 beta 2

Thank you so much for all of the hard work guys... So far so good:up:, i'm really impressed:cheers:

WOW... brilliant... simply the best, better than all the rest

A bug ?...
Load page in landscape, then switch to portrait. Now one got real "desktop view", with abit horizontal scrolling. However, it doesn't stay that way. When key 5 is pressed to zoom in and out again, page view changes back to portrait...When clicking NO to "refit" page, OM4 should respect the user wish...

"Added support for small anti-aliased bitmap fonts" What does this mean? In full page preview still every text is just rows of pixels, even the biggest headlines. The Safari-based mobile browsers show readable headlines in page preview. In this form it's just me too gimmick.

Please return "Content folding" select, I don't prefer this feature because it hides impotant content on my favorite sites and i have to open each list again and again.

great what can i say, it iz amazing i m loving it.

How to get feeds on OM4 beta 2.
Add a bookmark with the address "feed://start//" without quotes. Give it a title like "Feeds" or "RSS". Voila! You just got feeds on OM4 beta 2.
To subscribe to a feed, follow the feed url and select subscribe at the top of the page.

im in love with this beta!!!

Yes, I also confirm this bug with medium fonts unability to display cyrillic characters on Nokia 2865. Have to use large fonts instead. But my screen is 160x128 in landscape mode :-P

Great job! landscape mode is great! I use a motorola v550, the small text font quality needs 2 be improved.

Awesome! Best Opera Mini yet! So far has worked flawlessly on our slow Moto V635s. Kudos to Opera Mini team

Crashes way too many times on my blackberry pearl (8100) where can I download the first beta???!??

I've had the weekend to play with it and kick the tires - and I think it's pretty good. I just switched over to using OM4B2 as my primary web browser. Seems relatively stable using the Esmertec JVM on my WM6 T-Mobile Dash (HTC Excalibur). I do get occasional freezes, mainly after switching between apps on my smartphone and back to the JVM.

The main thing I'd change is on the text entry boxes for URLs and form data. I'd make one of the smartkey options "OK" and the other the list of other options such as "formulate search, URL history, clear". Most of the time, folks will likely want to hit "OK" rather than "clear". I've accidentally cleared out text input by hitting the "clear" softkey.

All in all, a virtual round of beer to y'all. Nice job, everyone!

aleksanteri: IIRC the Nokia 2600 doesn't support Java or even GPRS...

All is well on my Nokia E65. But on my SE W810i, the fonts are just horrendous and I'm afraid it's not Opera Mini's fault either. Anyway, if you guys can do something about the fonts in the menus, would be much appreciated.

Never imagined that a midlet could be so useful

Would love to give feedback, but the wretched feedback form (www.operamini.com/beta/feedback) doesn't work on my phone (LG U880). If this is common, it's going to give skewed statistics with the feedback form. In fact, I sometimes got similar errors using IE6 and my Country/Phone-Make/Phone-Model, so it could actually be the feedback form playing up.

Anyway-

HAPPINESSES:
Fit-to-width mode compatibility and rendering has improved. I use opera mini as my primary browser, so YAY. Still prefer using fit-to-width mode for volume browsing and reading, but the full mode is useful for compatibility with some sites that just aren't useable on fit-to-width. Tiny font is back, encryption is back. This version is now useable -- although I still have to return to opera mini 3 due to bugs.

BUGS:
1. Can't give feedback using the feedback form isn't (on a LG U880 anyway.)
2. www.google.com- After searching, with fit to width mode, can't select buttons for subsequent search results, so am stuck with just the first page of results.
3. Images aren't selectable on fit-to-width mode.
4. Landscape mode only works on top 6/8ths of screen (on LG U880 at least), the rest is left corrupt.
5. Some drop-down-multi-choice forms get corrupted with javascript-style refreshes, and can make forms impossible to validly submit (including the feedback form.)
6. Sometimes, very rarely, text-box form data gets interpreted as opera mini as a new URL to go to -- very odd, but fortunately very rare. This seems to be a state error, opera getting into a confused state, as things tend to go progressively more awry once this has happened, and need to eventually exit opera mini and restart it.

ANNOYANCES:
Please don't ignore or downgrade the functionality of the fit-to-width mode... for those of us die hards using opera mini as our main browser, realistically, for volume browsing and reading, fit-to-width/SSR mode is the only way to go. I feel that fit-to-width mode lacked a bit of basic testing... I mean, seriously guys, didn't you try www.google.com on it before releasing, being unable to select the next/subsequent search pages is a bit of an big, gleaming, obvious, bug? ;-)

SUGGESTIONS:
REALLY need a way to back up the bookmarks!

Way to go guys -- you seem to be making the impossible possible with Opera Mini.

I'm not able to install the beta 2 on my Blackberry 8700g. I tried after uninstalling the ver 3.1.8. I've OS 4.2.

The new beta looks terrific.

Thanks.

Cookies are STILL not saving for me. Anyone know where to get OM4b1?

I want my cookies back :-(

I'm sure that only Opera Mini team will create a mobile browser that will have all the capabilities of desktop browsers.

Just loaded Opera Mini 4 Beta 2 on my Palm Tungsten T3.
Have had to do some resets at times, but thats nothing unusual as I have used and still use WebPro, Xiino and
IPanelWireless on this handheld. I know it sounds strange to use so many different browsers, but actually, I was using the WebPro browser about 95% of the time as I
could access and do most of what I needed to do with it, which included internet banking. It has some shortcomings too, however it did allow me to access my internet banking website until a few weeks ago to my displeasure. This is when, I started searching for another browser that I could use to successfully access my internet banking website. IPanelWireless will access it, but I really don't like the screen features as well and it is kind of slow, but better than nothing. So I did find the Opera Mini program and have version 3 & version 4 on my system. I do like the program and there undoubtedly could be some other things added, but it is very close to being a replacement for many of the other handheld browsers out there. I guess, what I would like to see changed in a future version is the ability to be able to save the webpages as WebPro does, either internally in the program or by exporting to another program such as Palms MemoPad. This would be nice as one
could review the previous webpage for information that may have been overlooked when the session was online. So
I do appreciate the hard work on this new version, but I am in agreement with the other posts I have read, that there still are some changes that could be made to make this product a superior browser to all the others that are out there. Will be looking forward to new changes and congratulations for a job well done.

I am not happy with this at all guys. This is the first version of Opera Mini that does not load at all on my Nokia 6020. I am greeted with an "invalid application" error.

Don't want this happening on too many older phones on the final release or you will lose alot of userbase!
