[wreckz619]

opera is not fully integrated into the storm but it loads really fast.

to open links you do not CLICK the screen you simply double touch the link.


to type you have o bring up the keyboard by hitting the bb button sho keyboard. I would be willing to bet that eventually it will have true storm support but its not really there yet. Everthing works it just is missing a few details.

[scott621]

So is this system better and how do I get it

[alan8385]

Never really used Opera. I have it downloaded and will mess around with it but at first glance it doesn't seem as "touch friendly" as the BB browser

[Yesterdays Shoveler]

I've been using Opera 4.2 tonight and I think I like it better then the BB browser. It seems to work better with the touch screen then the original browser.

Do I have to choose between those two? no other options?

click this link from your Storm..
opera 4.2 ota

Make sure you set all the permissions to allow AND after it's loaded and installed, go to
options>advanced options>applications, find opera, hit the menu key and DISABLE compatibility mode.....Remember when you want to select a link just touch the screen to highlight the link, don't press the screen or you'll end up in mobile view...

I wasn't sure that there are other options...?

[stormiscoming]

I go back and forth.

once a version of Opera is created specifically for the storm, than I will use it full on.

does anyone know if there is a 3rd party application that can manage contacts? PM me if so.

thanks in advance

the one thing holding me back from going to Opera full time is the lack of keyboard integration. Once a Storm- compatible version is released I'll be all up on that.

If you disable compatibility like I said earlier, you will have keyboard integration...

Opera Works great with fast rendering. However the number keys are useless in the URL line. Pressing any of the number keys either in Portrait or Landscape to enter an IP address types letters :-( Wonder if this is a Storm specific bug????

[rockky]

was dead set on returning the storm but with OM I'm 90% keeping it (iphone owner who loves to surf )

[voodoodaddy]

Long time ago I had an 8700 and used opera mini alot. I have it installed on my storm but have barely tried it as the new bbbrowser is pretty good. Even coming from an iPhone, which most critics agree has the best mobile browser, I think the bbbrowser is very comparable.

One thing the iPhone/safari have that I WISH would be incorporated into more mobile browsers is tabbed pages. It cant be that hard to do. Just sometimes Im looking at something and wish I could pop up an new page and look for something else without losing the page Im on.

n00b here. how do i get that link you posted to download on my storm?

[3083joe]

Like both, opera is quicker but, browser is easyer to use and less memory.

Surf to this thread on your storm, click on the highlighted link and the download box will pop up, check the set permissions checkbox and start on the download..eezy parcheesi..

[GpCaptMandrake]

I just installed Opera 4.2... OMG I can't believe how fast it is!!! Why the heck doesn't the BB browser go that fast???

Just needs to be Storm friendly. If they do that, I will use it all the time.

ahh I will have to try that. haha yea they all dont have em anymore. We'll have to see after the eclipse is done

Ok, newbie question.. where is the 'Compatibility' preferences located? I'm looking at Opera's preferences and they include connections, interactions, and user data. Can't find 'Compatibility' anywhere.

it's not in opera itself,
On your storm, go to options>advanced options>applications>highlight but don't click, opera mini 4.2>hit the menu key and disable compatibility mode will be in the menu..
