Opera rules

I think the most promising browser ATM is Opera. Its fast and renders the pages almost identical to desktop (on my Jasjar anyway). It still has some bugs but it is in beta. I will be willing to pay for it!

Beta 2 is even better! Once you get around the WingDings Font !!!!

By Opera can You see the entire web site?
By Explorer some web site are in micro vesion.
Bye

Opera ules
how do you get round the wingdings problem?

I am having problem with Opera Beta 1 and Beta 2 as well.
After I have used Opera and closed it (really close) I cannot start Planmaker and Textmaker. The only way to use these progams again is a soft reset. I have tried installing opera to the card as well as to the main memory but to no avail.
Has anybody else had this problem or is it me alone?? I am on a Jasjar.
Please help somebody as I really love Opera but also cannot do without Planmaker or Textmaker.
Regards

best ppc internet browser

I know thunderhawk may be the best as far as viewing webpages, is there anything else that comes close?

Picsel browser is the best I've used. NetFront is meant to be great I hear.

On a QVGA device, without frames and copy/paste support, maybe. Otherwise, particularly if you have a VGA device, go for something else; for example, Opera Mobile or, to a lesser degree, the PIE + new (!) PIEPlus 2.2 combo OR NetFront 3.4 TP.
Please see my previous articles & comparisons of all these browsers so that you'll see what their particular strengths / weaknesses are and how they compare; these articles can all be found here in the forum.

pieplus works good for me. minimo is more than my device likes to handle (plus bad bookmark support).

Yup, Minimo runs pretty slow on some models / ROM versions.

Minimo is very slow to load but once it has, it is fine on my orbit overclocked of course. I like to use tabs so it is handy. Loads more features than PIE.

For me, the best browser is the almost new Opera Mobile 8.65. It got new options to download images and to import IE Favorites, among other new things, and it's very fast.

Could you please post a link to the Opera 8.65 for pocket PC.
I have checked their site and the latest version yet available for download is 8.60 which I am already using and it provides no way to import the Internet explorer favourite links. So I guess 8.65 may be a beta version. A link for download would be most helpful, though I could see the version 8.65 for the Symbian S60 which will obviously not work for us the PPC users.
Thanks and Regards

Here is the link, with the new features. But it's true that when you try to download, the version is 8.60u2 (?).

I attached some captures with the versión page, the "Save Image" option and the "Import IE Favorites" option.

Yeah, it's the old 8.60u2 only, last modded last December.
Where did you acquire your beta from? Is there a public link / source anywhere?

I got it from a blog pointing to the page that I posted before and to a download link. But the download link is dead. So I guess that it may it be a pre-release version. Another thing, It doesn't asks for a registration code. It's very strange.
It runs very well (except the flash support that doesn't runs or I don't know how to make it runs). Even the "old" trick to translate cache and other files to the SD card runs well...
I got the CAB in my Desktop so, if someone wants to try, it I will upload it.

According to the linked page, it relies on the external Macromedia / Adobe Flash 7.0 plug-in.

Of course I'd be REALLY interested in getting it

Here it is
*an URL was here*
Menneisyys' comment: sorry, as a moderator, I'm also responsible (to some extent) for what files the XDA-Dev forum (or, at least, the threads I contribute to and, therefore, am bound to know the contents of) contains. This is why I've removed the link after speaking to the Opera folks: the file turned out to be a pre-release betatest version, in no way to be distributed. That is, someone from the betatest team has leaked the pre-production, NDA'd test version - at least this is what I think the case is.
Thanks again for the URL and the effort you've provided me the file (it's really appreciated); sorry, again, for my having to remove the link.
Could you please also remove the file from RapidUpload as well? (If it takes too much effort, then, don't do it. Just don't spread the URL.)

Thanks!
BTW, in the meantimne, I've edited my post

May be, Opera usually allows 30 days of trial... But the prior version allows to enter a registration code and this one, not.

I've it installed for PIE since a lot of time. I've reinstalled it but no results... I've looking in the Opera.ini but I found nothing.
By the way, there is a question about this version posted in Opera forums:
http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=180783
No answers... for now.
Regards.

There's an answer there now:
For the record, Opera Mobile 8.65 for WM is still not released. And this page should not be public. :smile:
When the release is here, this will of course be announced. At least now you know what to look foward to. :wink:

First of all, if you are talking about Opera Mobile, then it is a commercial software so no ROM release will have it.
Now, the second part. There aren't very many ROMs released for Kaiser yet so go through each release and check yourself to see what software are included with the release.

thanks for that
ive never used opera but i was advised by a colleague to get it
whats you r views on it ,,is it worth getting (i presume being commercial itll cost to obtain)
is it worth actually installing ???
thanks

Certain sites seem to work best on different browsers. I have both Opera Mobile and PIE installed (and use both regularly). There is a 30 day trial of Opera...check it out before you buy. Also try Opera Mini - also a very good browser which I've used at times. Hopefully, someone will soon integrate all the best features of each.

OPERA MINI is free dude and its the best browser for windows mobile device to date.
and also there are TONS of roms released for the kaiser..
I'm guess sherpa has an attitude and posts just to get his post count up.. cuz obviously his post was rather pointless.

Opera Mini is free (java based) and Opera Mobile (executable) is commercial software that is currently 24usd to purchase.

I think my post was very straightforward. Opera Mobile will not be included with any release; to see if Opera Mini is included, just go through the ROM release threads. It's that simple.
Plus, if I really wanted to post just to get my post counts up then I would have thousands of posts by now since 2004.

I believe that one of Duttys roms had OPERA in it. I guess it was the V1 version of his fantastic rom - but the Forum has agreed not to use commercial software.....
But Companero. Use Operamini instead - its greeeeaat. By far the fastest browser you can get - and you can sync your links with MyOpera so you wont miss anything if you flash a new rom.

I do know that Jack's current FULL version has Opera Mobile in it. I believe it's out there if you look hard enough.

Yes. There is a post in the Device Upgrading area (top part of the forums) that has the how to do this.
OperaMini works well in most cases, but remember that whatever you are doing is rendered on a remote server. Don't use it for anything that should be secure (ie: don't do purchases or passwords across OperaMini IMO).

whats the big f**ing deal about sherpas post? he said as simple as needed: opera mobile is commercial. except for very few cooks, noone creates ROMs which include commercial version of different software for obvious reasons. if u want it, go buy it!
on the other hand, opera mini is free and you can install it in less than 5 minutes on every ROM, provided it has the right java applet installed. If not, one can also install Indent Java Midi applet which works perfect with Opera Mini.
i really hate all this smart ass talking and this show off from some of the users around here. it is a lot quicker and more useful to give a simple answer, even if it had been posted thousand times rather than telling to go read the wiki, search with google etc.
bleah!

A Request for a Mobile Version of Site

Was wondering if there was any chance of having a phone friendly site that goes into WAP mode when It recognizes Pocket Pie it would be so much better for surfing and navagating with my Tilt.. Anyway, just a thought. Thanks.

i have to agree - This site is very hard to navigate off a WM Device

There is a Mobile version of the site. I use it every day..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/

Or, use Opera Mini 4 that's what I use and this site is perfect on it

WOW, had no idea, obviously. Thanks!!!
Thanks for the Opera suggestion, but I like PiePlus better. I don't like the extra clicks needed to get to the favorites in the Opera products, unless something has changed in a never version.

Checked out the link, but the links on those pages are not up to date. In fact, they are really out of date. So I guess my initial request still stands!!

This is awesome. I didn't know about this either.

Desperate for a good Browser HELP PLEASE

Hi
Really looking for a GOOD SMARTPHONE BROWSER which can cave images and files, PIE is not capable of this, can somebody suggest which browser can do this? I tried Installing Opera on my VOX but i get double menu and action BAR's not sure which browser is capable of doing this?
thanks

Opera Mobile 8.65 works great on the VOX... I'm using it myself. I believe you tried the 9.5 leaked beta?
I think when 9.5 final is released for smartphones it'll really be an amazing browser...

hi can you tell me where did you get the opera 8.5? if you can upload it somewhere and i can download it, opera is capable of saving images??
thanks

Yes it can save images and any files. I downloaded Opera from the official site.

I've been an avid Opera user for many years, almost when it first came out in a floppy disk, but I have to say that Opera Mobile really stinks. I use Opera Mini running in jBed as it is so much better.

Yeah the latest Opera Mini is the best portable browser available right now IMO

I have a keygen for it, but.... some virus inside
howerver, it does works

you can get the Opera Mobile 8.65 at http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/products/

Hikey, please don't post warez, cracks or keygens. It's against the board rules.

thanks a lot guys for the response opera solved mt problem
