how do i set Opera Mini as default web browser?

as in, when i click on a link in google maps, i want it to browse with opera mini and NOT PIE
side question, whats the diff between opera mini and the full opera mobile?
other than the fact that i need to pay
thanks

Did you search or RTFM???
Launch Opera, then Menu-Tools-Settings-Misc-and place a check mark next to Set Opera as Default. Not too hard to do.
As far as your second question is concerned, I'd suggest www.opera.com.

Opera mini isn't as easy as that.

So sorry. I'm using Opera 8.65 for Windows Mobile. It was real easy to make it my default browser. I still think Searching is a good idea.

Sorry about the misunderstanding
There is Opera MINI and Opera MOBILE
for mobile i know how to set cuz it's an exe file
but since MINI is a java base file and requires a midlet, i had to ask for more advice on how to do it
and as i suspected
it's more complicated than i thought
Thanks for trying to help, though, kimtyson

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

opera vs opera mini

is it just me or does opera browser (the one u buy) suck really bad? does it completely miss the zoom functionality that opera mini has????
am I missing something?

I would agree. I had a little play with Opera 9.5 beta but it was not as intuative as OperaMini. Certainly it did not have the full zoom out feature that makes OperaMini a great browser.
Regards

opera mini rocks ... opera mobile sucks .. it would be nice if they had a setting where i could define default zoom so i don't have to zoom in 100 times to get the text size that is good for me ...
hands down opera mini is better.

okay so im not crazy... I just don't understand why they wouldn't include the full page zoom functionality in their retail app... that's really the only reason to go outside of PIE anyways..
only problem with opera mini is that it sits in java and doesn't have the integration abilities that opera browser does but these nifty scripts people have created are making that more seamless... Opera really needs to get on the ball and make opera browser intriguing.

type opera:config in the address bar to fine tune the zoom options

make sure you read my past Opera Mini-related articles, where I thoroughly compared the two browsers.

Nope haven't seen that one... search for opera mini is like finding a needle in a haystack though. Got a friendly link?
Also... on the post about running opera:config in the address bar... does that give you access to some additional options or something? I don't have opera installed anymore atm to test.. does this enable the zoom/out/in functionality like opera mini or something?

Yes you get taken to the advanced options page where you can play with zoom above other things

i guess u guys were referring to the new 9.5 beta... i was referring to the version they have avail on their website.. 8.65 or something? which clearly is nothing compared to this newer version...
i installed the 9 beta and it does seem much better... will be a great release once it goes live.

How to register Opera Mini as the default browser?

I have searched the whole forum and it seems this question hasn't been posted yet.
How to register Opera Mini as the default browser?
I've seen someone made a shorcut to launch Opera Mini without the need to open Java first. I've tried to use SKTools to at least lauch urls and htmls to Opera Mini but It didn't workout since it can only register exe files and not shorcuts.
Does anyone have an idea? Any help is greatly appreciated!
[EDITED]: Sorry guys. I guess I was just searching the wrong words. There is a lot of information inside the forum regards using Opera Mini as the system level default browser. I just wanted to do the same thing without MortScript.

if you are using 4.0 or 4.1 there is a c++ app that does the job for me (you can link to the app using 3rd party so can open opera mini without having to use java
the app is available in the list of software in the link on my signature (yes it works for wm6 as well as 5)
hope this helps
Chris

Hi Chris,
thanks for the feedback. I tried the Opera Signed and Opera as Default Browser cabs on the email on your signature.
Both failed to work. I'm running the latest jbed 2008.02.22 v.3.1 but on my SD Card and the latest Opera v.4.1 (not the beta). Do you believe that the patches are not working because Jbeb is on the Card?
Thanks again for all the support!

Getting Opera Mini Under Internet Tab??

Hey guys, sorry for being a noob- I had a quick question....
I downloaded opera mini because opera mobile sucked, but I was wondering if there was a way to make it more accessible and have it open up instead of opera when I go over to internet and tap "launch browser"... I appreciate the help.

Fellow noobs also want to know!

You might be able to link it like IT did in this thread with Youtube player. Follow his directions on adding another program.

Thanks! I would still love to have the globe open opera mini but this is almost as good.

what i did is just add opera mini to the start menu. so now its just 2 touches away, no matter where i am
