Hey you guys I have a question that hopefully one of you fine people can answer If I HAVE THE UNLIMITED INTERNET AND APPS ADDED TO MY PLAN CAN I USE A DIFFERNENT WEB BROWSER WITHOUT TMOBILE CHARGING ME OR DO I HAVE to use theirs?
i dont now but why dont unlock it
What I meant was can I use a different browser like Opera instead of the
T-mobile browser without being charged extra?
You should be fine.
I believe you mean Tmobile USA. If so..,
As long as you have unlimted internet, be it 5.99 Tmobile web or the full version, you can use any application to extract data from the internet, and they cannot charge you extra.
Only pain is using an opera browser with the slow speeds of Tmobile.
THANKS!!! you guys for the answers I guess I'll use Opera mobile for now until Skyfire becomes available for everyone.
Why dont you try Opera Mini? Opera Mobile with tmobile's speeds can be quite a pain in the $$$. And with opera mobile's habit of trying to reload pages for no apparent reason, it will be quite some time before u can actually start reading something off the screen. IF you do a page up/page down, well, its starts all over again.
Try using Opera Mini. Use it with the latest Esmertec Jbed java version which allows decent fullscreen and do the FIX for enabling internet access without asking everytime. You will be much more happy that way
When i browse some sites come up as mobile when they shouldn't
example... Myspace.com always comes up as mobile... And mobile view is off
any help? Cuz skyfire kills my battery much
there's some tweaks around on the forum somewhere to disable that. do some more searching adn you should be able to. it involves going into the about:config settings
Anyone have any tweaks that SPEED UP opera mobile? I use a combo of opera mini (FASTEST BROWSER ON THE FUZE!), skyfire, iris and opera mobile. it's ANNOYINg. if only opera mobile were as fast as mini...sigh

never tried iris yet
but yea i had to change a few keywords in my search... found it, thx
ive tried the settinngs listed in the thread, but none of the user agent spoofs work, i've tried every number from 1-9 i believe, soft reset with each one tried, most stuff still come up as mobile.... or should i just go ahead n not use the stock rom......
i use to flash roms to my herald ll the time, but i kinda started gettin used to the stock roms, if so, whats the best rom for the herald thats close to the original?
Hey dudes,
im running wm6.5 on my Omnia i900. And im a little bit angry of the behaviour of Opera and IE. Opera is still better than ie, but its slow too, and only can handle three tabs. Are there alternatives?
Greets,
Snooops
Wait Opera mobile 9.7, should be ready soon
Opera mobile can handle more than 3 tabs.
Go to opera:config
Search tabs
Change setting to whatever you like (9 is the max my phone can do and still run smoothly)

if you want fast,less memory usage,support all flash format.you better try this. --> www.skyfire.com .i agree Opera is the best but it cannot open all flash format and same as the IE 6.they only support youtube flash and .swf .Skyfire is mostlike PC browser.
Some Flash Webpage that i tested can run on Skyfire but cannot on Opera and IE.Test and you can see the deferent.
www.friendster.com/ <-- you need an account to view (you can see the flash running with sound) example www.friendster.com/zurra1989
www.pornhub.com <-- a porn site that need higher flash to view.same as youtube.but cannot view using opera n IE.
try Opera mini...light & fast!
I use Iris full time now.
sorry to all if this seems to be foolis...but no browser is compatible enough to upload a file from ppc to filesharing site..........even opera 8.65 fails to upload...i m trying since last months to upload a rom but my head is blow out now as i had only airtel MO plan...no other choice...
i know it was just announced but has anybody gotten the app yet? its supposed to be going out to carriers and oem's, not us consumers(yet). im hopoing someone leaks it quick! or does someone already have it? if so please share
really? were? site? >_> I DONT BELIVE YOU lol
http://www.androidcentral.com/opear-mobile-available-android-you-cant-have-it-yet
somebody has to leak it 1!!!1
apparently chances of that are low... but!!! now theyve announced that opera mini 5 is coming soon!!! anybody have that yet??
I was using Opera Mini 5 beta on WM6.1 and it was good, but it felt a bit too mobile. Every page I went on was loading in mobile mode, an sites with flash never loaded properly for me. I had a slide out keyboard, and I am sure it was a beta issue, but it was forcing me use the on screen keyboard. It was decent, but on a 2.8in screen felt very cramped. Opera 10 beta on the other hand loaded a bit slower to start up and web page loading was noticeably slower. However, web pages loaded more normal for me. That was on WM6.1 on a decently speedy device, on Android things could be a whole different story.
well i think either one, will be the best browser for android so far. mainly i like it because of that amazing speed in loading pages! even 4.2 is fast and i'd use that except the UI is horrible...
Opera mini5 (beta) was the best browser while I was using winmobile devices!
The interface was clever, the way it handled tabs was genius, it was sooo damn fast and the fact that you could go back in your browsing history without the browser reloading the page from the scratch was damn useful. I so hate that on the android browser (well, on actual browsers in general).
I'm really looking forward to the android-version but I'm afraid it won't support the hardware-keyboard of my G1 =(
So, is there any compelling reason to use Opera Mobile 10 over the Android browser? Will HTC flash work with Mobile 10? I can see a reason to use Mini 5 as that is a fast browser, and is fairly light. However, I can't see any reason to use Mobile 10 other than preference.
Well, if Opera 10 should support a double-tap to zoom feature I will for sure use it over the android one. I absolutely dont like those 2 zooming buttons floating all over the content which only appear once I start scrolling.

Sorry not to get ot, but we took care of the stock browser a long time ago, check it out: WWW.forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551119
To the op, this does look like it might be pretty nice, how ever always been happy with the modded stock, or a hero browser. Any idea on what phone is gonna have this as oem firest?
Opera 10 for android looks amazing. if you watch the video preview of it. Right now the best browser for android is the Dolphin Browser though. .. ooh and windows mobile people.. Skyfire is the only way to go.
Which video are you referring to?
Maybe I am not really getting it but what advantage does Opera Mobile have over the Android browser? I loved Opera on my WM device and I can understand using it based on preference. However, with the Android browser working the way it does, isn't it a bit redundant? Or again maybe I am not getting it?

The browser has better support for CSS/HTML/JavaScript...
You can see the differences between the browsers on:
http://www.quirksmode.org/m/css.html
and
http://www.quirksmode.org/m/table.html
Please note that the Nokia E66 browser matches the new Opera 10 beta the most. The other version is 9.5 which is already a year old. I'm really waiting for a Opera 10 release on android, since the android browser has some shortcomings when you want to create mobile websites (I shall spare you the details).
I guess I will have to try it out when it comes outs to see the differences. It's to bad they don't add the proxy features of Opera Mini on Mobile.
is it out yet?! :[

its the speed!!! look do this
go to the market and download the current opera mini 4.2
once installed get a timer or something and go to any website(including this one if you want, just make sure you go to exactly the same page)
time it
now go to the same page with the android browser.
you should see a HUGE speed difference. im not exactly sure how opera does this, but i heard once it has something to do with a compression method that opera uses that makes pages load very quickly!
all in all, i have no idea how opera does it, i just know that its FAST. and definitely faster than the android browser. i really dont care that its opera i just care abuot that speeeeeed!
Yes, I agree about Opera Mini, but I am referring to Opera Mobile.

well supposedly also opera mini is made for any mobile phone? i think. but opera mobile is made spcifically for more advanced smartphones. like you cant use opera mobile on some cheapy flip phone. but you probably could use opera mini on it. i THINK. im probably wrong or idk i dont really care i just want a better browser than the slow android one. either that or the faster 3g from tmobile.. but i think even then the browser would still be slow..
Having tried alot of different browsers through the span of my cell phones I believe Opera Mini is the fastest but it may have to do with the mobile view of the websites.
Dolphin is also very good.. I like that its theme able and its relatively fast.
I'm also anxious in the official release of Opera Mobile 10... it will have other features and will be most likely fix the problem of opera mini loading pages as mobile and not full version as in a desktop or laptop would display.
