After flashing my AT&T 8525 with the cooked WM6 ROM found on these forums, my only real gripe is web browsing. I was able to get my hands on and install Picsel Browser which does alright but is very slow to load pages and still murders most pages. Is there anything available that accurately displays web pages as they would be viewed on a normal desktop (like the iPhone's safari or the upcoming Verizon LG Voyager)?
I've done forum searches for browser but that obviously brought up a ton of unrelated responses. Any help would be appreciated.
Opera Mobile rocks! I was surprised about how good the pages were displayed. Just give it a go!
It has tabbed browsing, which is a benefaction. I don't know much about browsers however, as everything is better than Blazer on PalmOS
Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried Opera Mini but it tended to blow up a lot of the pages I tried to view. I just installed the Opera mini beta 4 and it seems to do be a bit faster. I'll try the full version as well.
Did a search for zoom browser and found this thread which answered most of my questions:

N1c0_ds mentioned about opera mobile which is different from opera mini.
opera mobile is much better then opera mini
Hi people,
I know of pocket explorer, and the opera release, but is there any other webbrowsers out there that are any good?
What i am looking for is something like the iphones safari. That would be nice
Pocket Explorer
Opera
Deepfish - damn shame this was never continued!
Cheers
Opera have 2 releases, you didn't mention which one you have. Opera Mobile is one of them but its not free, its good for tabbed browsing and downloads but personally i can't get along with it as it runs slow on my handset and often has script errors, plus struggles with desktop pages and uses alot of data. Opera Mini is the other one and i personally think its amazing. You can load up full web pages quickly and easily and it allows you to zoom in and out of the pages so you can view them like you would on your desktop. It uses very low amounts of data so its cheap to use, plus its free to download.
I personally use opera on my handset as it works well with windows, its the best thing so far anyway.
If your thinking of something more along the lines of the safari (iphone) experience, there is nothing at this time that matches it exactly, but there are similar programs you can get hold of that have been around a little while like Picsel Browser. Which can load up full pages (but cost you alot of data), and renders the pages pretty well, plus you can scroll with your finger and zoom in and out of pages without a stylus. I used to use this browser but i'm now totally hooked on Opera Mini.
I'm sure there are some other browsers out there but these two i mentioned are the only 2 i consider worth mentioning.
PS. Deepfish is similar to Opera mini, its optimises pages server side to make them smaller (data wise anyway), but i think opera have stollen the game from microsoft, thus them stopping any more work on the project, from what we can see anyway!
Hope this all helps btw

Personally I don't use opera mini, because it doesn't come for the htc p4350, i can run the generic, but I have to startup java first, then opera, and with every text area (including adress) it opens a new typing window..

That's the same way it works on my wing. However, as I'm browsing from a phone, I really don't have the highest of expectations for my browsing experience, and all things considered, opera mini is the best option I've found thus far.

Look for Picsel browser, it works almost exactly as the iPhone safari, the zoom, the kinetic scrolling, all that stuff. Execpt it's made for only samsung phones so they don't make it availible for everybody. I have aa copy, but i don't think i can post it here. Type it in google, there a lot of them there. That's where i found mine. And by the way Picsel dosent just view web pages, it also views pictures, word, excel,pdf and powerpoint. Goodluck

Ever thought about the FTX browser or Webby?
well..guys i got the file..but havent test it yet..well..atleast not yet..lolz jus typed in Picsel Browser 1.0.5 download..nd got it ;D
I tried Piscel and it was very snazzy, however, it does have some site limitations so it looks like the pay version of opera is the way to go.
Hey guys,
Any of you know where I could download a full version of the Opera 8.65 web browser?
I looked around and only found it on the opera website. It's a demo version for 30 days, with limited properties.
Also, there seems to be an Opera 9 and 9.5 out. Anyone know anything about that?
Thanks,
Phil

The demo is the full version. Once you pay them, they will send you a registration key. After entering it, you can use it for more than 30 days.
9.x was just released as beta. I would wait the 30 days before purchasing and see if they release it. In the past they would give you the new version if you bought the previous version within so many days, but you never know.

I hope you're not requesting warez or cracked programs because that would be against the rules of this forum.
Nope...
Hey guys,
I'm not asking for a crack or key here... I'm just asking if there is a free full Opera 8.65 version.
Some programs, once preceeded by a newer version become standardized and are readily available on the net.
Phil
there is mini opera (in java) and it is free

there no such thing as free opera mobile yet, and i dont think opera will make it free, but yea they do have opera mini for free and its pretty good considering that its free. if you are willing to wait i would also consider skyfire which is in private beta right now but they should be releasing the public beta hopefully within another month or so

Obviously, it can be downloaded from Opera.com
Opera wonders
Hey guys,
I'd like to tell you guys that the only reason I wanted Opera 8.65 is because of the enhanced web browsing that is available on it. I mean livestream, watching vids, browsing for instance youtube without having to d/l the file on your pda...
Does Opera mini do the same thing? I'd like to know that before-hand...
Besides Opera, would there be an available freeware of shareware that is like the opera 8.65?
On another note, anyone know how to change the top right button properties to open another browser other than IE?
Thanks
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
I use ATT Tilt. How can I change Opera Mini 4 User Agent ID/String so I can view sites like yahoo like on my computer. The User Agent ID tells websites that I am using a pda so the sites automatically send their mobile versions instead of the real thing.
Thanks
You can't. I've posted a lot on this issue in the official Opera Mini forum; check out my posts.
Thanks for the reply but I found a solution after a few minutes of searching. I remembered using anonymous proxy surfing a few years ago. Right now, there are tons of them. Some free and some paid anon surfing sites. This one is free and hides the user agent string: http://www.guardster.com/subscription/proxy_free.php
Yahoo, gamespot, and others work great now with opera mini 4. Guardster anon doesn't get in the way too much since its a small strip on top of the page. load times are fast. one thing to remember though, you will get proxy error if you leave spaces after the url.
Bye.
try to type :
opera:config
in the URL field...
I know it work on Opera 8 and 9... but i don't know on the JAVA version...
doesn't work in opera:config
