Opera Mini 4.3
Opera Software has released a major update to the Opera Mini 4 series, which is optimized for older and less powerful phones that don’t work well or at all with Opera Mini 6. In my opinion, Opera 4.n is the best browser for Boost iDEN phones. Most of the Boost CDMA phones can run Opera 6 well but if yours doesn’t 4.3 is the next best thing. According to Opera the changes from 4.2 to 4.3 are:
A fresh new look
Opera Mini 4.3 boasts a new and improved design, including a selection of great new skins for you to choose from.

Works well. I can not tell if it is faster than 4.2. Not sure if I notice any new features. I have not figured out the skinning thing yet but the default skin looks cool. Much better and more polished than 4.2including the loading bar, It looks closer to Opera mobile 5 and 6. Not sure if the skinning feature was in 4.2. I465 Clutch user here so I am not going to get into what doesn’t work like the YouTube thing. If you have 4.2 installed though this will not upgrade 4.2 to 4.3. It installs along side it so essentially you have 2 Opera browsers installed. Once you have 4.3 set up how you want. You can even run both simultaneously to compare bookmarks and settings. Once you are done making your 4.3 install like 4.2 as far as settings and bookmarks etc., you can delete 4.3 and have space for a new app/game to install in it’s place.
Oh my . The Opera App store recognizes the i465 listed . I can’t wait to give it a try . 😀
When I installed this the app program space was 252K.By mistake I deinstalled it.After reinstalling(I even tried redownloading),it is 403K.No big deal,just weird.
I like the new look , it is crisp and clean and the synchronize feature restored my bookmarks , speed dial , feeds and bookmarklets perfectly . But don’t forget that it does not backup your cookies , so write down your login names and passwords .
ill thank u here as i did on fb.nice update.looks & feels good.and maybe a smidge faster on the ol i776.im on OM 4.3 now,so far so good.
