What does Opera Mini offer that the default browser does not?
Also, where can I get that browser?
i second this. what is different about opera compared to the default on the 8900? what makes it better or why should i download it?
help is appreciated
Just wanted to say Big Up's to everybody that posted a list of the apps they are using, my phn is just so much more enjoyable to use now! Thanks again!
Just wanted to add that slingbox is working on the 8900 so for all you slingbox fans it is working and works sweet. i bought the slingbox solo at best buy today and i got lucky because it was an open box special and got it for only $75 where i live.
Thanks for the update I hope to get my 8900 on Wednesday and cant wait for to set up slingplayer on it!!

TeleNav works with the 8900? Did you do a OTA download or with desktop manager?
Chad, how well does Accuweather work? I have it on my 8320 and like it.

Way better then before when it was 2 updates/day, its supposed to be continuous, eh, a few times a day, and much quicker loading of the 5 day forecast.

Works a treat! Really impressed with this app. and will probably upgrade to the full version once the 30 day trial is up.
Just go to the TeleNav site and click on the BlackBerry 30 day free trial box. Fill in the details and they'll send you an email with a link for the 8900 version OTA download. You'll then receive another email with the free trial activation code.
Enter that and you're off... Enjoy!

Viigo
Google Maps
VibAndRing
TrekBuddy
Bolt Browser
poynt - Does not work but did on my 9000, may try to reinstall it
I didnt mind Viigo because you can do some much with it. The only thing I found was that as a Canadian user I wasnt able to get Canadian updates...or maybe im just stupid and cant figure it out, anyone have any suggestions?
I keep tabs on a web business I run via RSS with viigo - but the drag is I copy the address of an item I like and paste it in Opera Mini to read it and continue on that website (HUUUUGE Oper Mini fan, dont wanna be using the BB browser much..)
In Opera Mini's RSS instead of just a short snippet of the title - you get the WHOLE feed..(which is too much for me to read...)
In Viigo you get an edited snippet of the title..
I want somewhere in between.
OK - just loaded my beloved NextAction! on to my new Curve.. Ahhh ..bliss!
And my REX IdeaMatrix (great for stashing ideas..)
Hey! Flycast is working better today! Far less drop outs - it was wonderful! - I wonder if there are tweaks I can do to make it work better???? - I think I will try to dig out my wireless routers out from down under the TV and put them up a little higher.. that might help?

Accuweather looks terrible on my 8900....letters are huge and the radar pics are the worst. (It worked/looked GREAT on my Pearl 8100)
What settings are you using? I have T-mobile also.
TIA

Reason: added info
How do you get Opera Mini 4.2 on the 8900? I go to the website and I can only get 3.1. I'm downloading the generic version because the 8900 is not in the list of Blacberry phones
