    Do a search on Google for "Opera mini on BB" and it will take you right to the page with instructions!

    Just head to Operamini.com on your BB browser and follow the instructions.

    I d/led it right from the opera mini site but my suggestion is to not even waste your time. The bb browser is much better imo

    I personally just went to mini.opera.com and just did an ota install of opera 4.0 and it works fine. Now if firefox will come out for bb then I will use that instead!

    I can't seem to get Opera to work on my phone have tried and entered the APN: wap.voicestream.com, still nothing.

    When I start it up it gives me a message saying it's trying to access a low level network, that comes up twice and then it won't connect.

    I was having the problem of it accessing low level network connections and then it not do hang and not load. I resolved the issue using a suggestion I found on another thread here. It said to unistall the opera mini from the phone and then reinstall it using the device manager. So I followed those instructions along with doin the tcp change (wap.voicestream) and it's been great since.

    This browser imo is way better than the bb web. One thing that I am battling right now is switching applications while hbrowsing I can't find how to do it.

    Its fairly easy to install opera mini, I was having the same problems, what u have to do is first install opera mini 4.0 then go to options-advanced-tcp-apn and change it to wap.voicestream.com. Oh and by the way I think opera mini is way better than the bb browser

    I want to like the Opera Browser, but if Im on a site and I would like to download something, it cant detect what phone Im using unless I use the BB Browser. Also, some sites open up another countries version with Opera. I am just sticking with the BB Browser for now until I see some improvements with Opera.

    I use Opera for non-mobile-friendly pages, and the BBB for google, OTA downloads, and of course CB. The new 4.0 beta is nice. I can hit my bank sites in a pinch, and the different views work well.
