Comments on: Opera Mini Version 4.0 Released

Dam it my RSS feeds are all gone!
At least my bookmarks survived.
there's a speed dial in the bookmarks nice for Treo owners or anyone else with a keyboard.
I just tried the new desktop view and scrolled around for about 20sec before the thing reset.
I'll try PIC this time.....OK it's not loading.....I hit stop and nothing has happened.....Tried stop again still nothing......This would be alot easier if my cat would stop steping on the '.' key ;).
Still nothing time to reset.
I'll try the mobile view this time it shouldn't need as much ram.
Rebooted loaded OM switched to mobile view click OK hit 'bookmarks'....... and nothing ..... I'll get back to you guys.

Att Palm:
Foleo = Smartphone companion
T|X = Dumbphone companion
If you think a Foleo will sell and a PDA wont you're out of your mind.

Long story short, it's works pretty good on my TX, but looks-wise, it's much better on Samsung A900 (much higher information density with the smaller font, and the "zoomed-out" view looks better as well). With a 260K footprint it's a must as it will render a lot of pages that Blazer craps out on.

Tungsten T --> Palm TX --> Foleo-mini??(like an LD-II with a small attached keyboard??)

1) Make sure you install IBM JVM on your palm first.. Not doing so will result in soft reset when you run Opera... Had that dumb moment last night.

2)once things installed in the right order it loaded up fine... I did not have any book marks or RSS feeds come over.

3) Seems to load pages slower then Blazer, but looks way better. Looks so much better that I even downloaded Version 3 for my Sony Erricson Phone.

4) Tried loading PIC and a couple other sites, even one with heavy Pictures and text. Loaded them slowly and sometimes got an out of memory error. Thats ok though cause it really was a torture test.

5)Tried both Mobile view and regular view... The regular view seemed "Gimmicky" on my palm, like they were trying to copy the Iphone which is not all that bad, but was never impressed with the Iphone way anyways. Mobile View rendered pages Very well.

Gripes...
- have to hit the exit command when the home application button is pressed. Would rather have it work like Blazer where it just switches to the launcher.
- No way to get to the back button without using the stylus or your finger. Every other link you can get to but cannot hit back.
-No way to Clear Cashe *that I found yet*. Usually in Blazer if I get a out of memory error I can just clear the cache and keep going. I have not seen any way to do that in Opera. You can clear the cookies but not the cache

Thats about it ... All in all I figure it this way .. Blazer is like a cheap economy car.. it will get you to where you want to go with the least amount of hassles, but you may be tired and sore when you get there.

Opera is like the Luxury car.. it will get you there and it may give you some problems but you will like the whole experience much better when it works.

just my 2 Cents.. your mileage may vary...
