Signed up! Thanks for the post. Opera is awesome...I wonder how they could change it to be better??

I'm familiar with the standard Opera...is Opera mini the best browser for cell phones?

[redwildebeast]

IMO it is. it is very fast. much faster than the Pocket Internet Explorer on my phone. and also better than the browser on most non-windows mobile phones. plus alot of phones it allows you to get pretty much the full internet without having to shell out money to t-mo for a data plan.

Subject: Dimension - get ready for June 19th


Hello,

The time has come: Opera Mini Dimension is set to release on Tuesday, June 19th. We're excited to share it with everyone who has signed up thus far.

You will be some of the first to see what we've been working so hard to bring you over the past year.

While we can't wait to show what we've developed, what really encourages us is the impact Opera Mini continues to have on people's lives.

Just over a year ago, browsing on your mobile meant either buying a shiny expensive phone or laboring through tedious WAP content. Opera Mini broke the rules and gave people the freedom to get the real Web on their favorite phones. Now, people expect and deserve the same Web, access to their favorite sites, the ability to check email, blog or do whatever they want, wherever they are. That has been our mission at Opera since the beginning - to break down barriers to access. It would not be possible though without the support of our users in helping to spread the word. For that we remain grateful.

Please enjoy the new Dimension coming out in just 5 days, and counting...

Look forward to see you on operamini.com on Tuesday,

Your Opera Mini team

I'm hoping there's some implementation of tabbed browsing
and that it'll use the blackberry menu and previous keys

Ahh you beat me to the post! I was about to post it...but I had to delete the Viagra spam lol.
I actually am digging the mouse too...its really quick too! I'm going to look around...but so far I like it!

I'm trying to download this right now.

[redwildebeast]

this is really fast. like opera always is. i like the zoom in/out. its cool when the page loads i am zoomed out, pick the part of the page i want to see and boom, zoom in. finish there zoom out and pcik another part and boom, im zoomin again. nice, very nice. i have 5 browsers on my phone and this one will be getting the most use. unless i find a huge bug or something. it is still beta. who knows.

[terryjohnson16]

It looks the same design-wise. I don't like how the pages looks mad far away, then u have to zoom in.

[redwildebeast]

if you dont like it terry set it to "fit to width" in the settings. that should help

[terryjohnson16]

Ok, now it looks better.

[anfrey]

i dig having this flexibility, very very handy... and to think there will be MORE features!

I'm looking forward to getting a SE phone and trying the new Mini.
