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 freezes at startup for ten seconds or so when sync icon appears - 412 syncstate, 250 bookmarks total and 16 speeddials. No such problem with 7.0 running on SE C510.

Preset search engines can't be deleted/managed, deja vu in mini6. Also latest 3 search engines added two weeks ago got sync on last 3 lines (after Yahoo!) and preset engines on top avoiding alphabetical order, it's something that I didn't noticed before and needs mingling around.

Dark thm with night mode is not a good combination but you will find out

Lucky you with your shinny Android device because mini8 doesn't work as it says on the tin and announce the end of stream for j2me platform. That's a funeral not an update so: Long Live Opera Mini for Android! -
