- Hi all,
I got opera mini running, and I am not able to see the benefit of using this browser. Everything is tiny and it seems to be alot of work zooming in on the link you are intending to see...
Being that alot of people on CB love it, I'm thinking I need tweak the settings for a more enjoyable experience.
Please let me know if Opera Mini is good to go out of the box, or after changing some settings...
Thanks06-02-08 08:56 AMLike 0 - I'm experiencing the same thing. Also I get a message before the page loads, stating "Opera mini is attempting to access a low level connection": Allow - YES or NO06-02-08 10:13 AMLike 0

I love Opera Mini for the ability to see web pages as they really are - sometimes mobile views don't line up when you have drop-down boxes, etc. But, I also love the ability to see the mobile view for pages that I'm just reading (blogs or message boards, for example).
Try hitting the number 1 key and you'll have the option to change from Mobile view to full web page view on the fly - awesome shortcut! You can also adjust your settings in Opera to automatically start on the Mobile view.
Hope this helps!

TIA,

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com06-02-08 11:26 AMLike 0 - Try to hit an advanced site with the BB Browser and you'll see why people favor OM more. A lot of sites just laugh at the BB Browser.06-02-08 01:52 PMLike 0

I'm curious to know if this is how people use it, or if they use the mobile view that was mentioned earlier.

If you aren't familiar with a site, simply zoom in and scroll around a bit to look for what you're trying to find. You'll get used to it in time - I swear.06-02-08 03:14 PMLike 0
- I initially thought the Opera mini was rubbish, but I just it was only when so many sites could not be viewed on the BB Browser, that I persevered! By god I'm glad I did - How did I ever live without it??
2 - Use the numbers 2,8,4,6 to scroll the screen quickly.
3 - Set up your Start Page with your most common sites
4 - When setting Bookmarks, use the option to automatically retrieve the icon and title
5 - For speed, under settings... Load images as LOW. You can always increase if needed.
6 - Dont ever actually CLOSE the Opera mini program, it will speed things up when you want to visit a site quickly. Also, it won't keep asking you to say YES to the low level connection etc.
Also, when going back a page or 10, the cache doesn't reload everytime, so speed is fantastic! In fact, Opera Mini seems to load the pages with images quicker than BB Browser without!!
OMG - I have only had Opera Mini installed for a few days, but it's fantastic!!06-02-08 03:25 PMLike 0 - I like to use both. Opera mini is more like a regular browser. When my BB browser jacks up the webpage I'm viewing, I switch over to Opera. I think they're great.06-02-08 03:27 PMLike 0
- I can see that OM can handle more pages than the BB browser, but my question is that it seems very cumbersome to navigate, especially on a page you are not familiar with. All the zooming in etc....
I'm curious to know if this is how people use it, or if they use the mobile view that was mentioned earlier.
Thanks
For the record, great to me would be like Jivetalk, or ViigoLast edited by WJRobbins; 06-02-08 at 03:43 PM. Reason: typo

I wish when I clicked a link in an email it opened in Opera Mini. Other then that, yea use Mobile View. You wont have to scroll around the page so much.06-02-08 03:50 PMLike 0

- Good tips. In addition, you don't have to wait for the list to appear. If you know your shortcuts, you can press "*", then "1-9" immediately after it to go to that link.06-02-08 08:20 PMLike 0
