Opera Mini 7.0
Opera Mini 7 was released today. Feature wise, It’s the same as the Opera Mini Next Beta released 3 months ago. There are supposed to be lots of bug fixes. Opera Mini Next which added the following compared with Opera Mini 6.5.
- Support for more than 9 speed dials – you can add as many as you like, or as many as your device can handle.
- Improved support for Right To Left languages

Doesn’t work on the Sanyo Innuendo. It crashes the phone too often to be of any use.
i like the new interface and works well with scp6760.then a week later.phone starts locking up blanking the screen and not loading opera.i delete and reinstall 6.ALL those go away.so be aware
No idea what you mean by “All those go away”. All those what?
It sounds like Opera Mini getting corrupted. That can happen if you use the red key menu to end (suspend is OK) the app. Always use the Opera Mini menu’s ecit option to quit
love the update, but I still have to hit the t button several times to make it type a 5. It doesn’t realize I’m using a qwerty when I want to use a number, so it works like a t9 keypad.
UC doesn’t have this problem, but it doesn’t load past the first page lol
I don’t know which Boost QWERTY phone you have, but on the Rambler and Incognito and probably other Boost QWERTY phones you can quickly enter numbers in Opera Mini by holding down the number key for about a half second. Also if you enable Fullscreen Edit in Opera Mini’s advanced settings menu, all keys work normally.
Hey Dennis. It happens sometimes when I am trying to download something. It only happens on OM v.7. Not 4.4.
Hey Dennis:) Another question…sometimes I get an error (not sure the #) but it says “proxy authentication” I think. What does that mean?
I’ve never heard of that error. What are you doing when it occurs?
