Ive already posted on the forums about this.. Dennis IVE got a brand new Incognito.. My keys for upper\lower case commands as well as some character keys like apostrophies and exclamation ppoints arent mapped to the phones keyboard.. The native browser and built in text app are ok. Its only when I use Opera and also Picomail has the same exact mapping issue.. Ive memorized some of the char inputs so I can use both of these. My question to you is.. Is this normal not having characters mapped correctly using these two apps: Opera 6.1 and Picomail 2.0???
Yes, key mapping issues are common on all Java QWERTY phones. The Java specs don’t define QWERTY keycodes and every vendor seems to go their own way creating a nightmare for app developers.
In Opera Mini on my Rambler there are some workarounds that may also work on the Incognito.
1. When you are in a text field and want to type some unsupported characters do a long press on the center OK button and choose fullscreen edit. Everything should work in fullscreen edit. You can also make fullscreen edit the default in Settings > Advanced.
2. To type a capital letter in the inline editor (not fullscreen edit where the caps key works normally) press and release Fn, then press and release #, then press the letter you want to be in uppercase.
3. To type a number in the inline editor, press and release Fn and then do a long press on the number key.
I don’tr use PicoMail but some of these might work with it too.
Won’t download to my boost blackberry curve 8330..tried both links (jad,jar)starts to dl then just says”download failed” oh well thanks anyway
You need to use the BlackBerry version of Opera Mini. Go to http://m.opera.com with the BlackBerry browser to download and install.
The apps on this site are intended for Boost’s non-smartphones. A few might work on BlackBerrys but most won’t. The best sources for BlackBerry apps are BlackBerry App World and this big list of free BlackBerry software

File a bug report at http://mini.bugs.opera.com/ and post the issue on the Opera Mini Forum at http://my.opera.com/community/forums/forum.dml?id=111
In your bug report and forum post be sure to include the make and model of your phone and a concise description of exactly what doesn’t work when you use the QWERTY keyboard to do inline mode editing.
I have both 6.0 and 5.3 on my phone. I would like to move all use to 6 – or 6.1 – and preserve the Bookmarks from 5.3.
I have identified the directories containing the two Opera apps, but can’t tell which file is the Bookmark file; and the files in the two directories are named slightly differently.
I got 5.3 from this website and 6.0 directly from the Opera site.
What’s the best way to go about this?
5.3? No such animal, I guess you mean 4.3.
Anyway the bookmarks are stored in the RMS (Java database) file along with a lot of other things (history, saved passwords and much more). The RMS from one version is incompatible with the one from another version so copying it would just break the app.
The way to do it is with Opera Link. If you aren’t already using Opera Link, first synchronize 4.3 with Opera Link. Then sync 6.0 with Opera Link and all your bookmarks should automatically appear. *Warning* this will delete any existing bookmarks you added to 6.0 manually.
If you are already using Opera Link on 6.0 it gets tricky as enabling Link on the 4.3 phone will wipe out any existing bookmarks on the 4.3 instance. There’s probably a workaround for this using multiple Link accounts but I haven’t experimented with doing that.
