Comments on: What would you like to see in the next version of Opera Mini? http://operawatch.com/news/2008/01/what-would-you-like-to-see-in-the-next-version-of-opera-mini.html A blog covering the latest buzz on the Opera browser and its competition. Thu, 20 Nov 2008 16:37:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: John http://operawatch.com/news/2008/01/what-would-you-like-to-see-in-the-next-version-of-opera-mini.html#comment-73035 John Wed, 20 Feb 2008 06:37:30 +0000 http://operawatch.com/news/2008/01/what-would-you-like-to-see-in-the-next-version-of-opera-mini.html#comment-73035 So I love opera - and actually learnt about Opera Mini at a job interview in Oslo - but I was most disappointed that I couldn't save pages for future viewing. Surely there is an internal representation (html or otherwise) that could be saved - or just download the whole html page if the user asks to save it? (though could be tricky with pages that expire and can't easily be requeried). You guys will work it out! :) Also - NetFront, which comes with my phone, seems to interact better with yahoo mail. I don't know how it works, but maybe yahoo recognises netfront and sends different content - it's very easy to read. Do we need a "masquerade as browser X" like desktop opera has? What else.... Not sure yet if opera mini supports site preferences - eg - no images for this site, but images for all the rest. Would be nice, to minimize downloads. Other than that - yep, mini is as awesome as desktop! :-D So I love opera - and actually learnt about Opera Mini at a job interview in Oslo - but I was most disappointed that I couldn’t save pages for future viewing.

On the Blackberry, it <b>still</b> needs to support the BB's menu key and other typical Blackberry shortcuts (space = page down, t = top of page, b= bottom of page). Having to use the keys on the keypad to access the menu makes it too tedious for me to even bother with it. OM really needs to allow input into text fields without a separate text window.

The only thing that I don't like is that you can't add text without clicking on a box. If you could just fix that the program would be 1000 times better! I love opera.

My phone has a 320x200 screen. When I go to, say, nytimes.com, the full-page view is shrunken so much that I can't read any of the text. But then when I zoom in, it goes REALLY CLOSE and there are only about three words on each line of text, not exactly great for readability! An intermediate level of zoom would be great.

Fine it has all this fancy layouts but,my problem was the fact that i cant make operamini personal,no changing of skins,plus no testing of the network unlike the case with operaini v3. If it cant get trough due to network congestion it will just give you some dum mess. About 'unable to connect contact your network administrator' i mean i have 3g on my phone and a page takes forever to load.?! If you guys can improve on this il be happy to continue with it. I personaly thought that the 3version was better! Prove me wrong.. The day i upgraded to operamini 4 my trouble started.
