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.

Thank you. Keep up the good work.I finally found what I was looking for.»Opera Mini 6.0«
yes my operamini is working again i have operamini 7 and it is working just fine but lost all my bookmarks but its running again thanks
Which version is suitable for my Nokia 1680? I have installed Opera mini 4.3 but its not working well.
Opera recommends Opera Mini 3.1 for the 1680.
i dont know why my opera mini stopped working on my motorolarambler do any one knows if the system is down and what happened to all my saved pages
Their was an Opera Mini server outage a couple of days ago but it’s working now.
If you are still having problems try the following in order until it’s fixed:
1.Turn the phone off for 60 seconds and turn it back on and try Opera Mini
2. If it’s still not working does the built in browser work? If not it’s a network issue and you need to contact Boost.
3. If the built browser works and Opera Mini still doesn’t, re-install Opera Mini without deleting the old copy. If you reinstall with the same version and say yes to the prompts to keep the old version’s data your shouldn’t lose you bookmarks.
4. If reinstalling over the old version doesn’t work, delete the old version and install Opera Mini 7. You will lose your bookmarks unless you used Opera Link to back them up before the problem started
i used 4.3 on my i856 just fine. 5.1 never worked but 6.0 works great!
