- Have seen people posting about it figured i would start a thread. I couldnt get mini 5 to finish downloading but have 4 running pretty good. Has some quirks but the word rap is pretty good. I have been having issues with the default on some sites. Some times it just zooms in at different levels for some reason. Just posting so some may want to try. I just went to there m.opera.com and went to additional and downloaded opera 4bimmer22 likes this.12-24-10 09:54 AMLike 1
- An added note, the short cuts are way different. Track ball doesnt function as it does in regular browser i.e. enter. You use space bar or return to enter. Will have to play with it but its a nice addition to have for sites that the stock browser frustrates you12-24-10 10:06 AMLike 0
- Well I am loving it lol. Now that I have the short cuts figured out mainly using it without issues. Wish it had tabs though12-24-10 02:14 PMLike 0
- One of the reasons I love the Style so much is its Webkit Browser. I was never a fan of Opera mini to begin with and always used Bolt with my older BlackBerries.
Not that it means anything to you... I just couldn't stand watching you talk to yourself... LOL

- Hey Guys! Just wanted to help!
Using the Opera Mini (beta 2) will help
maximized the use of the Style's Trackpad.
This will work for people who have other
Blackberry device with Trackpads too! It's a little
buggy but I encourage you to give it a try!
NOTE:
Blackberry Desktop Manager will be required for this
installation due to the file being an .Alx and not a .jad.....

12-24-10 10:01 PMLike 0 - oh okay, i was betting thats one of the bugs you had mentioned. Yes it is good hopefully they do finish and also touch up the webkit thats stock on the phone. Really liking the Style. Its a great phone.12-25-10 12:43 AMLike 0
- I know right? Haha, and yes, it's unexpectedly a great phone!
I was very skeptical when it was first announced by RIM.
But weirdly enough, it's better than what I had expected xD
I would have to agree on you with the webkit because
compared to some of today's Mobile Smart phone Platforms (Android, iOS, etc),
the Blackberry browser is way behind....It's been 2 years and I'm still
waiting for Native Flash Support LOL12-25-10 12:59 AMLike 0 - I don't understand? I'm using opera 5.1 on my Style, & have been for weeks? Are u sure it doesn't work, as I use it without any problems, but only occasionally. I prefer the bb browser. I think I loaded the .cod files with BBSAK, after dumping the files off my 9650 BOLD, I just got the .cod files from the dump folder & loaded them.

- Well actually u have to be patient with the trackpad and move the cursor very slowly to where u want it. That is an issue but I got use to it. Why don't opera fix that already? Other than that it works fine.

I tried 5.1 for BlackBerry and it looked great but there was no such thing as moving the cursor slowly, it was just completely unresponsive most times and erratic when it did move. After reading your post I decided to try to install it again and sure enough, it works great now (as you said, you do have to move the cursor slowly). My advise for people having issues is to delete and re-install. This worked for me.... Thank you 5.1 for not making me click yes to access the internet everytime I open Opera! haha01-19-11 11:08 AMLike 0
- I've been using 5.1 for BlackBerry all day and its working great... Except... Has anyone else had problems with not being able to move around in menus? This has happened 3 times today, but only while adding new bookmarks. What I mean by this is if you press the menu key, it will open, but the url box will be highlighted and you can't move off of it. So whenever this has happened I've had to do a battery pull since I can't move the cursor to the exit button, thus Opera can't be closed (would still be running in the background). Any ideas?

Maybe it is engineered to be super slow to cut down on data usage? HMMM
Does the Opera browser play Flash videos? Are there other browsers out there that work on OS6?02-05-11 11:46 AMLike 0 - Thanks for posting that. There is definitely something wrong with the BB browser cause if I load the same thing from my computer while tethering (not using phone as modem service), it completely blows the thing away.

If you tether the pages will load faster because your computer is much more powerful than your BB (I hope haha jk)
As for Opera, it does not run flash. Opera does run your web requests through their servers before sending the results to your phone. This is part of the big difference in speed and also contributes to Opera using much less data, but BB's use less data than other phones in general.02-06-11 06:09 AMLike 0 -
YouTube videos also play flawlessly without more than a few seconds of buffer time when reception is good.02-06-11 04:22 PMLike 0 - I got this installed. Mobile download didn't work for me either, here is where I went.
Opera Mini & Opera Mobile – Download:
Select 5.1 for BlackBerry, change firmware to 4.7
Install with Desktop Software
Much more refined (maybe too refined) and pages load in a snap. The cursor is definitely squirrely but the stock browser isn't much of an improvement on that.
Mobile View sucks... nothing looks right. Turn that off, set font size to small, and turn on fullscreen and you should be set. There is a box showing where you will zoom to, that is a nice touch. But there is only one setting, you can't zoom with the touchpad.
I'll probably use both, mostly Opera when I don't want to deal with the mind-numbing slowness where reception is poor.02-07-11 10:13 PMLike 0
