Opera mini 4 is HOTT!!
Right, my phone is an outdated piece of crap (relatively speaking), beat up too, for good measure.
I haven’t bothered to update, as there just aren’t any “killer features” I feel I’m missing out on. I will once Nokia releases a phone with wifi. Yes, Nokia, not an iPhone, I am from Finland after all 
Anyway, I deviate from flash and flex and text effects, simply because opera mini 4 knocked my socks off. I’ve had Opera mini installed for a long time, and I like to read reddit and slashdot etc. when in the train, tram, walking the dogs, rocking my baby to sleep in her pram, on holidays, taking a dump (yes, I’m a man of class).
Anyway, without opera mini in the first place, I wouldn’t use my phone for surfing (d000d hang10). (if you don’t know about the optimization process, do visit operamini.com). A few days ago, an “update opera” link appeared, I clicked it, and very quickly (the .jar file is under 100kb) tested out the new browser. HOW THINGS HAVE IMPROVED!!!!! 
I punch in reddit, a site with some ajax features, the layout isn’t too complex, but still, I used to have to scroll through a bunch of ads and other crap to get to the headlines. Now when I start, I see the entire page, zoomed out.
It’s unreadable, but OMG?! There’s a mouse!!! Suddenly my phone has a mouse?!!! I can move around to the part of the website which I find interesting and zoom! No more ads, no more menu items I don’t care about, just headlines:
And… to top it off, I can actually log in, and I can up/down vote stories! None of that was available before. (ok, logging in, a whole new can of worms, not fodder for this post though).
(am I a top notch photographer or what?)
anyway, there’s a ton of new features, read about them here : http://www.operamini.com/features/
Opeara, hats off
What these fine men of Norway have in effect accomplished, free of charge, is upgrade my mobile phone! Value has been added! It has suddenly leaped forwards, and become a more useful tool. Amazing!
