Opera Mini 8 for Java and BlackBerry

I've updated to the new 8.0 version. But personally, I don't like the new white UI. Black one looked awesome and premium. Don't know why Opera thinks this new white skin is better. There are also some bugs in this new version. The browser hangs for a while(say 2 or 3 seconds) frequently on my phone. And while writing something when I turn on/off capslock it doesn't show anything in the small box on top, that is, it doesn't show abc, Abc, ABC, though it works. My phone is Sony Ericsson Elm J10i2. Please, consider and solve this problem.

By the way, does anyone know if Opera will update the browser with the previous black skin and UI or not?

Yeah, the new simplified design of the UI looks definitely worse. The dark one was just easier on the eye.

I'm new to Opera...just downloaded to my blackberry 7 device...a couple simple questions: 1) I can't seem to access my corporate intranet w/ this browser vs. the default BB browser - do I need to set up some permissions or trusted access? 2) how do I set Opera to be my default browser so that when I click a link it launches Opera? Thanks.

1. I can't seem to access my corporate intranet w/ this browser vs. the default BB browser - do I need to set up some permissions or trusted access?

Hi, you can't because Opera Mini loads pages via a server that compresses them, and that server can't transcode pages located at your local network. Opera Mobile can access any pages since it's a full browser but it's not available for BB.

2. how do I set Opera to be my default browser so that when I click a link it launches Opera?

I don't know if that's possible, sorry.

If that's related with your previous question then you should know that on your device RAM memory (or java heap) run out in no time and 'touch interface' is not an option.

I have an android phone but its a LOW end android, I cant download Opera Mini 8, I mean I can get Opera Mini 7.5.3 from the play store but I cant get 8. My gf has a shitty phone & SHE was able to get it on hers - hers isnt an android, I liked the interface of OM8 so I would like to get it on MY phone. Like I said: Im a low end android so I cant use the new Opera Browser on my phone, I can Use Mobile Classic but thats not FANCY enough for me

"what about next version 8.1 i hope gif animation support like UC browser Thanks opera team"

Mini is a light-weight proxy browser which means animated GIF support is not possible. When you use Mini to access a webpage, Mini sends a request to the Mini servers which fetch the page you wanted and compress it in the OBML format, breaking any and all media (including animated GIFs, Flash, etc.), and sends the compressed page back to your Mini for it to display.

There is no way to turn off these compression servers because then you wouldn't have Opera Mini anymore.

I love the new UI. The black was too dull, whereas white can't be compared with the older red or black. And please give updates regularly from now on. Don't make us wait for almost a year to experience something new from you guys. Our patience has definately been rewarded. On the next update please continue this white UI.

Hopefully opera wont take another 2 years to update the java version. I like opera mini 8's new UI but i still think it would be better if you never dropped the option to download and install custom themes, i know 4.5 can do that but there are only 2 themes available and one of them is pink which only leaves me with one option so please add lots of themes and also it would be nice if you included the option for the browser to fetch pc or mobile sites. Some sites are hard to divert to the full pc site right now.

I think that you can use private browsing feature as workaround for Opera Link failure. I don't know if private mode was mean to work in this way but it may have a double edge with that.
