Just got my Curve..I am a newbie

Can someone explain to me in very basic terms:

What is Opera (or Opera Mini?)?

Do I need it?

If so, what for?

How do I get it?

How do I use it?

Thanks so much

Opera Mini is a different web browser. Some like it some (like me) do not.

You can d/load it and give it a try since it's free

Welcome

It took me awhile to get used to Opera Mini--- and sometimes I still just use my BB Browser, but I like having Mini on there as an option.

Everytime I try Opera Mini it gives me problems; since I can see a good 95% of what I want to see with the native Blackberry browser, I don't mind overmuch having problems with the remaining 5%. (While it's great fun to use my BB for Internet, for some things it's just easier to use my PC at home.)

I use both Opera mini and the BB browser. Depending on my web site destination, I'll use one or the other because it may look/operate better.

i prefered the os 4.5 browser to opera, but if you are running 4.3, than opera is better

I use the BB browser most of the time but if there is a pdf or some file that I want to download to my memory card I can only do it through Opera.

Opera is also great for certain websites that the BB browser just can't load properly.

i use the native bb browser for most sites. i only use Opera Mini for sites that have a lot of graphics or features that the native bb browser cannot handle, such as teva and orbitz and full ebay.

Here is the newest Opera Mini OTA Download link: http://mini.opera.com/beta/mini.jad?...e&edition=hifi
