Opera Mini 4 Beta released

Posted by Nis in Opera, software, Nokia 6300.Comment on this post

Opera Software just released the Opera Mini 4 beta. Which rocks on the 6300.

With the new beta you don’t have to see the pages translated to a thin slice of their full glory. You can have it all and choose the squish them down if you want to. This is similar to Opera for Symbian phones which I liked when I used my E60.

Point you phone at mini.opera.com/beta and download away. You wont look back. Promise.

Here are a list of the new features:

  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.

    Hi,

    Nice to find a 6300 enthusiast site. I use a 6300 too. However, the Operamini doesn’t work. I have EDGE service activated and the builtin browser works without a problem but Operamini fails the network connection test and asks me to go to operamin.com/help using a desktop :(

    Even tried downloading the beta version (4?) without any luck. Are there any specific settings that I could configure to run the mini on my new 6300? Anybody? Thanks in advance.

    The same problem here. I used Opera Mini beta on my old Samsung D800 so I know the browser is great. I am unable to instal it on my new Nokia 6300 though. :(
    If anyone managed to instal Opera Mini beta on heir Nokia 6300, please let us know how.

    My 6300 web package (T-Mobile) won’t allow me to download directly from the Opera site, so I need a direct download link for my PC and then transfer it to my phone and install from there. Can anyone help? Thanks.
