<![CDATA[Opera Mini 8 for Java and BlackBerry]]>Finally, the good news that all of you have waited for: Opera Mini 8 is here!

The most noticeable change is that the skin has gotten a total overhaul. We wanted to get away from the dark skin in previous versions and make it more modern and pleasing to look at.

Then, we have added private browsing feature (like in Opera Mini 4.5). When you enable this feature in settings, the UI will turn dark to show that you are in private browsing mode. Private mode will be turned off when you exit Opera Mini.

Another new feature is night mode. This will reduce the brightness of your screen by applying an overlay and hopefully make it more pleasant to use Opera Mini in dark environments. On keypad devices, we have assigned the shortcut # * to enable this. Of course, it can be turned on/off from settings as well. Night mode is also turned off when you exit Opera Mini.

Opera Mini has always been about saving data. To give users more control over data usage, we have moved the "Data Usage" page from the help section to appear as a new menu item. As before, it shows you the details about data usage, but in addition you can now toggle image loading and set image quality.

For keypad devices, we have made it easier to use tabs. Just navigate to the top of the page and continue up to reach the tab bar. So, there's no need to go via the menu anymore.

This release also features nicer looking Speed Dial entries. We now use the Speed Dial images specified by the site author instead of just a thumbnail of the page. The thumbnail is still used as a fall back.

As before, we have a separate build for BlackBerry with some additional changes. First of all, the page rendering will be better, since we use all fonts found on the device. Previously, it was limited to the same standard fonts as for Java. In addition, you can change the UI language directly from settings. The new language will be used after a restart of Opera Mini.

And, of course, we have many, many bug fixes and changes under the hood. We are eager to hear your feedback. Add a comment to this post, or use the bug report wizard if you find a bug.

To download Opera Mini 8, visit http://m.opera.com/ on your phone.

Please report any bugs via our bug report wizard.

Enjoy!

Opera Mini does not allow in control or navigation using the keyboard and trackpad.
It would most helpful if Opera Mini could use single letters from the keyboard as shortcuts,

for example.

I = zoom in.

O = zoom out.

T = top of page.

B = bottom page.

C = close the page.

K = go to bookmarks.

E = exit Opera Mini.

F = find text-string in page.

It would be helpful if Opera Mini would make better use of the menu key.
It would be helpful if Opera Mini would use trackpad to move the cursor.

Thank you.

Kind regards,

This is the greatest update. Specially the Night Mode and Private Browsing options.
I want to suggest two things and hope to see them soon.
The first is to include the percent bar for the Night Mode. As it will let the user to adjust the brigtness as per his/her ligth/nigth condition. For me the current Night Mode's darkness is somewhat low which still stress eyes in the night. Please consider this.
The second is to include a shortcut to scrolldown or up page at once to the top or to the bottom. The both will have great effects on eyes and the battery life.
Thank you‏.‏

I have 2 Blackberry Bold 9700, both running OS6. 1 device managed to install the new Opera Mini version 8, but i am puzzled why the other device have this error:
Uncaught exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException

It installed and after restarting the device..the error above popped-up when i click "Ok" button and Opera Mini does not launch.

Did anybody have the same issues like this?
And what is the solution for this problem?

I kept on installing & deleting the app..it still have the same error.

And if you read comments in BB World..everyone has this particular error & gets frustrated.

Appreciate if u could look up a solution to this. We Blackberry users would greatly appreciate this. Thanks.

I've been using opera mini for a while and everything was okay. But since last month, I couldn't download any files. I am using blackberry 9320 with Blackberry Internet Sevice. I've upgraded to this new version and still download not work. Now I am using version 7, still not working to download any files. For info, I tried to use another blackberry with another sim card to download files with opera mini, still didn't work.
In blackberry app world, I read review that many cases are similar, can't download any files.

After I downloaded it, it froze numerous times when installing. I had to uninstall it and then install it again. This carried on for days. I finally got it to work. When I load pages sometimes, I get a lost or failed connection! I have a Blackberry 9320 Curve.
