Opera Mini 6
Opera Mini 6 was released this week. It’s a major update to Opera’s most powerful browser for Java Me devices. According to the official Opera Blog, changes from 5.1 are:
Opera Mini 6 is here! With some cool new features and a bunch of bug fixes, we know you’ll love this new version as much, if not more than cake, ponies, bubble wrap, kittens and duct tape.
A fresh new look
Opera Mini 6 sports a new and improved design, including a new skin, and new zoom and jump buttons for easy touch-navigation.
Share
Share links directly to major social network sites (Twitter, Facebook, My Opera) as you browse, directly from Opera Mini 6.
YouTube support
Click any Mobile YouTube video to launch it directly on your device’s native media player (if available).
Improved zoom for touch screens
Pinch-to-zoom is now supported for multitouch devices. Regular touch devices now zoom with a double-tap, or with Opera’s new zoom buttons.
Tailored to Tablets
We’ve designed a new user interface especially for tablet users.
Open Link in Background
Read your news uninterrupted and utilize the power of tabs by opening new links in the background.
Better Font Support
We’ve been working hard to improve the selection and rendering of Asian fonts, including Thai and Arabic.
I tried Opera Mini 6 on a Boost CDMA Motorola Rambler and a Boost iDEN Motorola i776. It runs very well on the Rambler. The only issue I found was that the #+8 page down key scrolls two screens at a time instead of one. Opera Mini 5.1 had the same bug. Here’s hoping it’s fixed in the next release.
On the i776, Opera Mini 6, like Opera Mini 5.1, installs but hangs on startup. Opera Mini 5.1 ran on the i856 and i9 so I suspect that 6 will too.

is there anyway i can rename files my self before i dowload them? what im looking to do is put two mini 6 apps on my phone. im using the juno scp2700. and while im here might aswell ask does anyone know of other good browsing apps i should try that arent listed here? so far my phone is compatable with every browser here except bolt version 2.5 it will download fine but is just too big to run. runs 2.3 great tho. so trying to find something in that compatability range.
opera 6 mini not working on my i465 clutch. would love some feedback
6 only works on the i9 and i856 AFAIK. Use 4.3
i just switched from that phone ( accidentally dropped it in the toilet… ) the best version compatable for it is mini 4.3. Opera 5 and 6 are too big. 4.3 is a good browser tho. Thats a cool phone tho once you work past the kinks
can i use opera mini on my boost sleek phone and which application link should i choose
Opera Mini 4.3 should work on the Seek and probably 6 too. Open the download page in the phone’s browser and click the JAD link
i think this is a great update, still has a couple of bugs but is a lot faster than the native browser on my BB 8330 no more hanging or chokin up in the middle of downloading a site ,
operamini just gets better and better!
runs a lil faster on rant but it does shut down when im on opera 6 hope someone can fix that bug
