Just released today -- June 19.

Downloading now.

So far so good, its not locking up on my Curve anymore which was happening on version 3. Auto fit shrunk it a little too small for my taste though, my preference is autozoom ticked, fit to width not ticked. I think it appears a very small ammount slower than version 3 but for a beta its brill!

I like it. If you turn off the options for autozooming and auto page width it really has an iPhone browser feel to it.

You get the full page look (too small to read) but you can zoom in and out using the 5 button (on the Pearl). You can navigate through the page using the 2 (up), 4 (left), 6 (right), and 8 (down) keys.

Pretty cool.

Going to grab this right now

Does it support BIS?

It does.

Does anyone know if you can hide the title bar. I'd love to free up some real estate on my 240X260 screen.

How do I accept? I can not seem to get past the legal stuff

Are you sure? I tried it and didn't work. By BIS I meant that I dont have APN access.

This blows the BB Browser out of the water.

I agree, but imagine how much better it would be if you didn't have to click over to another screen to enter text, usernames, passwords, etc.

My dealbreaker, here, though, is whether or not this handset will work on OS v4.2.1.90. I'm gonna give it a shot right now.

You want to see a kid from Jersey squeal with delight? Make that happen. =3

Has anyone had success loading the beta on a Curve?

I'm having the same problem on the 8800. The only option is 'Exit'.

Ghetto.... I am experiencing the same, clearly not designed for a blackberry. Dunno why people always talk about opera being so great...

It's also not secure. All traffic moves through other servers to facilitate the display. You decide. This is a public service announcement.

I'm not able to download the low memory version...Hopefully the High Memory version doesn't screw with my pearl too much...update later on how it runs for me...

It works...Nothing extravagant...thought maybe it would blow Mini 3 out of the water...It doesn't. Just gonna stick with the BB Browser. It still does it's job and well.

I never used Mini 3 but now that I see this in comparrison to BB Browser... wow... the zoom\scroll\mouse feature is HOT. Try loading myspace.com on both browsers then say ya don't love MINI 4 beta!

I have the same issue of trying to 'accept' when there is no menu option for accepting!

PRESS Q TO ACCEPT TERMS! THE Q is the LEFT TOGGLE and the P IS THE RIGHT TOGGLE!!!

Just wondering before I try to download the beta. Can you have both the stable and the beta versions installed?

TIA,

Frank

I thinks its awesome! Yes ffeingol you can have both installed.

I started a thread in 8100 forum(closed). I really need to start reading other sections of the forum :D

Thanks for the tip. No need for the all caps though. Still a bug in that menu should bring up both options not just exit.

Thanks for the tip abell. I was just posting that I could not accept either.

Frank

Works on 4.2.1.90 on the 8800. BEAUTIFUL. <3

I'm back to having connection issues that I had with early betas of version 3. I'm on a BES but my company is not allowing browsing through the BES so I connect via APN. Version 3 can recognize the connection to use and works fine. I tried beta of version 4 and it can't find the right connection so unfortunately I can't use it. Hopefully a new beta will fix this.

Erm, to clarify, for those who are unfamiliar with the OS version number, this is in reference to Rogers' released 8800 OS.

I just noticed that if you press # and wait for a few seconds, the "#" menu options appear. Is this new to the beta? Same is true if you press *. For example, to answer my own question above, you can remove the title bar by pressing "**" (i.e. the asterisk button twice).

I was just playing with it 4.0 beta and tried Digg API iPhone Interface and onetrip iphone interface site and it renders the page fine. Ajax is not working but i remember before it wouldn't even render the page. Maybe just maybe they are working on having this browser support Ajax....

I just installed this on my Curve and while I like some things it feels like the text size on small is very large compared to Opera 3. Is anyone else having this problem (and does anyone know of a solution)?

its the font setting under settings. you can go larger. very nice control.

The BB Browser on the latest Cingular OS has the mouse feature and virtually an equivalent to the zoom & scroll. Which I do admit is a great feature.

I've never had to load myspace.com. Probably never will do it so that isn't really a factor for me. And as a personal opinion, I prefer the BB Browser, I keep an Opera Browser on for some sites that won't render in the BB Browser. But 98% of the time I don't need Opera.

I have a Blackberry Pearl and I could not get the mini 4 beta to install on the phone. It said I failed to connect to the Internet. I had the same problem before trying to install mini 3. Anyone else had this problem?

Love It!!!

This is not quite right. The BB browser on 4.2.1 (and higher) has the mouse feature, but not the equivalent zoom and scroll feature. On the BB browser, pages load in either "mobile" view or "desktop" view. If you want the zoom out feature that the opera browser has (i.e. view a small replica of the entire web page on your screen) you have to hit the menu button and select page overview. Then you get the mini version of the page, can scroll around, and select what to zoom in on. If you want to zoom out, you have to go back to the menu.

On the beta, web pages load in overview mode and zooming in and out is much easier.

That you're right about...I never said anything about an ease of use or an extra push of a button here and there. I just simply stated that the features are there on the BB Browser whether is easier or more difficult to use.
And the new Cingular OS is 4.2.1.96 correct?? Therefore it is on the latest Cingular OS that I currently use.

Deleted.

I really really dont understand why thats so hard to do.... thats my main gripe with Mini Opera....the UI for entering text is terrible....
