Opera Mini 5.1
A new version of Opera Mini was released today that is supposed to work better on phones with small screens (less than 200 px wide) and/or low memory (less than 4 MB free Java Heap). If Opera Mini 5.1 detects that it is running on a phone with low resources it uses a simplified user interface with a text rather than icon based start screen to reduce memory usage. There’s also a new *+0 shortcut to quickly switch between desktop and mobile view
I had high hopes that this would work on my i776 but it doesn’t. Just like with 5.0, the app installs and starts up displaying a “loading” progress bar that takes over 10 minutes to reach 90%, at which point the app hangs! I’m posting it for those of you who have a model like the i856, i9 and possibly the i465 that 5.0 worked on. This version of Opera Mini 5.1has been modified to install alongside of Opera Mini 4.1 and 5.0 rather than replacing them.

jfyi, for all you Sanyo Incognito users, the browser works great, but for some reason youtube videos will not play in full screen.
really good browser i dont use it for a boost phone but a samsung a797 samsung flight and it works well
i started to install 5.1 on my i465 specifically after reading the rantings here about it not working. common sense (not that common apparently lol) told me to go to the opera site and read what the developers published. it took about 20 seconds to find out that neither 5.0 final nor 5.1 are compatible with the i465 and the recomended version is indeed 4.2.

had a cool look, installed fine on my i856 , started surfing the web and it didn’t want to load images all the way. . . i’d see half the image and half a grey block lol . thank you for the download but i’m gonna stick to opera mini 5. 🙂
@boostapps.comDennis Yes the i680 actually had a faster processor then the i9 and a bit more memory along with it’s bullet proof design.
