Opera Mini 4.1 BETA ready for action...

strecker

What can I do???
just as I got thoroughly addicted to the brilliant teashar browser, an email reminder from opera pops up:

4.1 beta is now available for download - and they added some nifty features:

- down-/upload content to your dear blog/website
without using your phone's browser

- open attachments in web-based email accounts

- autocompletion of url-entry

- faster everything (they say)

To download, steer your phone's wap browser to
www.mini.opera.com/beta

I haven't managed to install it yet - on both n95 and e61 it gets disconnected during download...
So: good luck!
(still hugely enjoying teashark, anyways hehehe)

update:
installed it on my nokia e61 via pc suite.
Works fine!
You can now also save pages to phone's memory
to view them later offline (handy e.g. When you're on wifi for a while, you can save loads of stuff, and then browse offline on the bus etc....)

Thanks for the update. Does it seem as improved in terms of speed etc as they say?

mmmh? Yeah, my impression is it's a bit faster than om4, and it seems to get "stuck" a bit less frequently!
Upload-function is great, too - and so is the save-page option! And I like the fact that it remembers where on a page you were when you click "back"! What I mean is: you browse (e.g.) here a long list of topics; halfway down that list you click a link but realise it's nothing interesting so you hit "back", and bang: cursor is right back on the link you clicked instead of at the top of the page... Saves you some time scrolling...(oh, and when you click on "show latest post" of a multi page thread, eg, it actually takes the cursor to the latest post - not just to the page it's on!!! Nice touch!!! And teashark can't do that yet - neither can nokia's overhyped, imho, "safari" version!!!)
Speed of teashark is definitely better, and it's desktop-view and cursorspeed's better than opera mini's, but om has fit-to screen/mobile-view which is definitely a plus - even on a large e61 or n95 screen...plus the new features such as the save page etc etc; so for now I'll stick with opera mini 4.1 beta; but I'll keep using teashark as well - they deserve some of our browsing business for the great effort!

btw, om4.1 beta does NOT interfere with any other opera mini version, so you can try it without overwriting your older versions!

With the blackberry tariff on O2 you get unlimited email and internet. Does anyone know if you can use the opera browser and still get unlimited internet or will it fall under a separate data usage?

once you use the wap apn then it's covered under the blackberry tariff.
