[try that used to work for 4.2

Do OTA links NOT work in Opera?

I don't know temper.

I haven't tried the new one I heard it doesn't work with .230.
I do know 4.2 used to marry up with the native browser. Meaning you could click on the link and it would open in the blackberry browser.

LOL doesn't look like many people do bud...

I'm beginning to wonder what the point is in having Opera at all. Yes the webpage rendering is MUCH better, but to do anything other than view a page, you need the native browser. Unless I'm missing something. Or, unless it's because it's a BETA. Ah well, at least I found CaptureIt which works well

Opera 5 Beta is working well with .230 for me cold...no issues, other than what I've asked here, JUST in case you wanted to try it LOL...

I might give it a try when I put the tour back online. It might be a touchscreen thing then cause I did load it on the storm and I wasn't able to get it to work properly. Mind you I only did about a 2-4 minute test and pulled the plug.



I'm getting tired of cleaning up my double posts :lmao:

Well I have it installed on my 8900, and if I highlight a speed dial and hit "W" I get the option to "Clear or Edit"

To change Speed Dial links in Opera Mini 5 Beta:

1. In the Speed Dial screen, select and hold the link you want to change for a second or two until a context menu appears
2. Select Edit from the context menu
3. Make your change

Hope that helps!

To be honest, there's alot one can do on the web where proper (and quick) webpage rendering is more important than things such as downloading files. Things such as browsing a forum. The ONLY time I use the default browser is when I need to download a file to my device or watch a video. OM5 is leaps and bounds ahead of the BB browser when it comes to actual browsing.

I believe you hold you finger on the picture of the website you want to edit for a couple of seconds, and when you lift it up a context menu will be there with an edit option.
