I’ve only one big problem with my e61. I can’t use Opera Mini with one hand. Shortcuts needs to be pressed with function key. I have tons of useless keys

Very nice update!
But I hope there will be an option to change the landscape rotation… So we can adjust to the handset’s design…

Sam, unfortunately the landscape mode doesn’t yet work with BlackBerries — we’re working on it.

I agree that the preview mode is useless. I quickly disabled it. I had not been wishing for a cursor on Opera Mini and now I know why: it’s an annoyance. However, the search engine add feature is excellent. Unfortunately, stability on the Palm platform continues to worsen: Opera Mini continues to lock up my Palm 700p requiring reset almost every browsing session. Even after adjusting thread stack to highest setting, enabling double-buffering, and setting memory usage to 4 mb. Sorry but I am losing interest in what used to be a topnotch browser.

Great update! I really hope this version solves the random freezes I got on my Treo.
By the way, where are our small fonts on Palm OS !?

Opera Mini is very good indeed, the only problem I see is with data input.

My phone doesn’t have a keyboard, instead it shows a virtual QWERTY keyboard when needed.

On the default Opera (for Motorola EZX, which comes with the phone) when you click a field to type something, the virtual keyboard pops up on the bottom of the screen.

Opera Mini, however, behaves in a different way. When you click a field, it goes to a kind of input form, then when you click it the keyboard appears.

First I thought this was a limitation of the platform (J2ME) on my phone, but it is not, since there are software which use the direct pop up keyboard.

This is really the only thing that bothers me.

@ Eddie

Thank you, Eddie. Not very intuitive.

Oh, one comment is I landscape mode is good too, but it would be the business if it could be set to have:

Landscape (Left Handed)
Landscape (Whatever ;))

settings because it’s a bit cumbersome as a left hander using the right for the movement.

But really it’s just a superb bit of software.

Absolutely love this.

I’ve got it in my w880 and honestly it poops over any other browser I’ve used on handheld devices.

I cringe thinking back to how painful the browsing experience was on my iMate Jam in retrospect compared to this.
