Now available for download. Haven't had a chance to try it myself but supposedly tab browsing is one of the features.

Correction: Opera Mini 5 beta.

It keeps giving me the "Couldn't load EULA" message on my storm!

To download the beta point your BB Browser to m.opera.com/next

This is a nice-looking browser. Unfortunately it installed itself as the default browser (without asking), and I cannot find a way to remedy that short of uninstalling it. You still can't past a URL into the box if you want/need to. The escape key does not exit the application - you have to hit the Berry key, roll the trackball all the way to the right to the little icon, click on that, THEN hit a confirmation box to exit. Ridiculous. Lots of bells and whistles, but basic functions still either messed up or missing. A visit to the 'Settings' menu reveals nothing of assistance. Unreal.

Keep in mind, this is still a beta.

I like the fact that when entering text, it doesn't take you to a text box, as the previous versions have. You do have to click on the text field but you can still see the page as you enter text.

Agreed, this is a big improvement. Still need to be able to paste a long URL into the box, though. That's a huge hole, and the main reason I've stayed away from Opera in the past.

Jsconyers: thanks for providing that link. Forgot to include it in my excitement.

I agree that is an issue I would like to see resolved as well. However, in 4.2 you can paste a link. Click on the URL and delete the www. that is there, then select insert symbol. It will bring you to a text box and from there you can paste your link.

It is tricky but can be done.

BTW is the text field/box formatted any differently? For example, with the BBF wap site the text box covers less than half the width of my phone's screen. I actually got used to having a separate window to enter text because I could actually see all the text I was entering.

Its still an early beta and was locking up my phone and had to uninstall but I like the promise.

You can paste! I discovered via dumb luck on my 8330 that when you're in a text field, press the W key and it shows a menu for Copy Cut Paste. I didn't see any help entries for this.

Oh, and if you select a speed dial entry and select W you get a menu to edit or clear it, and if it's not set an option to assign it.

Overall, it's a nice improvement. The UI is a bit slower because of all the new bling, but if you can learn more of the shortcut keys it saves time and makes the slower UI bearable.

I had the same issue, I went to the download site and redownloaded the software again, seemed to fix the issue.

Has anyone found out how to page up/down now? I loved the old 2/8 key to do it, but it seems like those try to open up speeddial entries. Space bar doesn't work either.

[ree_mn]

It still doesn't do animated images for things like radar loops, though :(

[jsconyers]

2 and 8 work for me.

Eh, nevermind. It works for me too. Don't know what happened that first time, though. Operator Error.

How did you delete a thumbnail entry? Put another on top?

Note, I'm on a curve, but I'd guess it works the same on a Tour. No clue about storm.

On the speed dial screen, I rolled the trackball to highlight the entry I wanted to replace. Then I pressed the W/1 key on my keyboard. This is some sort of menu key that Opera supports. When a speed dial entry is assigned the little menu shows Edit and Clear. When it's not assigned the menu shows Assign.

Also what is "inline editing"? I turned it off to see what has changed. Noticed the dubble space period works and it fixed the backspace issue.
