    I have been trying to download Operamini to my 8330 and everytime i go to mini.opera.com and try to follow the download instructions, it takes me in circles - i click on the download link and it just brings me to the main screen, over and over - can someone help me?

    I also tried to have them send the SMS and it says they already sent one, but I never recieved it - ugh.

    Probably something else but sometimes it just seems that way because it goes back to the browser after the download effort. In reality, the icon has shown up on your apps page and is ready to use. Again, likely oversimplifying but may as well check the obvious first.

    Make sure your browser emulation is set to BlackBerry.

    In the browser, press Menu, select Options, select Browser Configuration, scroll to "Browser Emulation" and be sure that it reads "BlackBerry", save your changes.

    The Opera site should recognize your device as a Blackberry so it'll be OTA, no real need for the text. Also, are you using the BB browser or a 3rd party browser to reach the Opera site?

    All right, let's do it together then and maybe we can determine where the hangup is. Go to google and type in "opera mini" whats the first site you see?

    Click the main link, then "Download Opera Mini" near the top.

    Yeah, click the very first one:

    Download Opera Mini! (English (International), No signature)


    Should look just like the above.

    Ok, so with your browser open to any page, push the menu button left of the trackball and go to options > Browser Configuration.

    Check every box possible and you said you were already in Blackberry emulation mode which is listed under all the checkmarks.

    If anything was unchecked or the emulation mode was wrong, retry. Maybe we're missing something else obvious.

    When you go to the mobile opera site you should see this:



    Is this not the case? Use mini.opera.com as your site.

    Opera Mini - Download

    One last thought to check:

    Options > advanced options > browser push

    The top 3 boxes should be checked. Scroll down to bottom of page and there's another titled "allow wap push applications". Check it. Save and exit. Reopen the BB browser. Go to mini.opera.com and try download.

    If that doesn't work, I'll have to leave it to the heavyweights.

    Good luck!
