- 10 reasons to love Opera Mini 4 beta

1) Surf the Web in style

The Web. Period. You can get any site, anywhere, at any time. It's your Web, to go.

2) "X marks the spot" — start at the right place

When you load a page, Opera Mini will automatically suggest a place to begin reading. When it's time to dive into the page, Opera Mini zooms in and cleanly focuses on the content you want.

3) Stay at the right place

Opera Mini dynamically changes the size of text and images to make it convenient to read without a lot of unnecessary scrolling.

4) A mouse!

We included a virtual mouse to make it easy to scroll in any direction. The mouse cursor will look for content and links, and snap the view to them.

5) Power scrolling

Scroll faster using the keypad. Simply hit 2 to go up, 4 to go left, 6 to go right and 8 to go down. Opera Mini will snap the view to the content. Hit 5 to zoom in and out.

6) Fast and cheaper browsing

As always, Opera Mini delivers the pages you want, quickly. In doing so, Opera Mini makes your data bill cheaper, too. Opera Mini loads pages more than 2x faster than other mobile browsers.

7) Good old Small Screen Rendering

Is it just too much scrolling for you? Turn on "Fit to width" and enjoy the pages in the Small Screen Rendering view. In this view, the structure of the Web page is changed into a single vertical column, removing the need to scroll horizontally while browsing.

8) Quick access to key functionality with the context menu

Hit 1 to open the context menu, where you can turn on Small Screen Rendering (Fit to width) or reload the page. When focusing the cursor on a link you can see where the link really will take you, or choose to open the linked page with images turned off. When browsing with images off, you can choose to load the images in a page by selecting "Load images". You can even load the image in its original size and uncompressed, high quality by choosing "Open image".

9) Web designers go wild

We included all the cool CSS support you need to make your mobile web pages look pixel perfect.

10) It's just the beta

More crazy stuff will arrive shortly.

@shadowpocalypse There's a video where Opera beats Safari when Safari is on 3G, Opera on EDGE...

[DevinDominance]

Opera Mini 5 beta, is better than Safari clearly but I have a lg incite and compared too my iphone 2g it lags like hell but just the phone not Opera Mini, opera mini is one of the few reasons I like that phone but windows mobile 6.1 and the accelerometer lags like shit. Can you get opera mini 5 on a iphone? Mines jailbroke if that helps.

[alphabeta2]

you know why?, it's because pathetic HTML developers who does not know how to code for W3 web standards.

FF was great when it was 0.9 beta onwards then 2 came out with memory hogging crap.

ya. it takes 2 days to browse what iphone does in 15 min. but k.

[shadowpocalypse]

Opera = pathetic

Any browser/phone hardware combo is shit. It crawls and has so many bugs with displaying a page. How about you put em both next to each other and surf the web? Oh wait what did you say you tried that and it failed horribly? Oh okay then, gg, thx. Fags. Pathetic.

actualy, i ditched my black berry even afterr installing opera because it was a mostly text based experiance.. altho i RELLY want opera on my iphone,its just a better browser hands down. the way opera saves the last page you wer on would help speed up surfing witch is nice when you have limited time in public(checking a price or item info before buying/genneral intrest)

[0mriphone0]

FUCK UP!

[Gismokvack]

I think the point is that the iPhone is partially selling so good because people want to access the real Internet on their cell phones. People don't realize that they can do that on any kind of phone if they get the Opera Mobile. No need to buy a new phoneif you have Opera Mobile :)

iPhones are cool but I hate AT&T.

[anoracle]

I agreee, Opera and O-Mini are fab. They are not phones. The only phnes that give readable web on a VGA or better screen are the Nokia Communicator series and the iPhone. Loved my Communicator, now i ove my iPhone 3G.

In any case, how can so many dweebs be so ego invested that they care what anyone thinks of the tech in their pocket?

Now that iPhone costs $199, the argument is logically over anyway.
