    Hi!

    I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I had Opera Mini on my previous phones, and download was a snap, but I can't seem to download it on my 8900. I tried the website on the phone browser, and also sent myself the SMS. When I open the link, all I get is the same page showing me the different ways you can download the browser. Anyway I've tried it, I still get the same web page. I wouldn't start a new thread if I wasn't at my wits end. I've googled for help, and everywhere I went, the same link gave me the same exact page.

    Thanks!

    yes. That's the one I've been trying over and over again. But it just keeps bringing me back to the page that shows you the 3 ways you can download Opera.

    No... a little farther down the screen is Browser Identification... that must be set to Blackberry so that the website recognizes your browser is a Blackberry browser... otherwise it thinks you are browsing there site from a pc and it will not show you the link to download there browser.
