Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Opera Mini 4 delivers a fast, impressively advanced user-friendly experience with this upgrade to its mobile phone browser. Keypad hot keys speed up zooming and scrolling. The browser comes with a familiar mouse. You can create your own search shortcuts, synchronize your bookmarks with your other Opera browsers, and alternate between rendering views.
There's also a landscape mode activated by pressing the "#" and "*" keys, just not for BlackBerry phones or a few others. Other limitations exist, as well, most notably that Opera Mini isn't compatible with every carrier and model, so you'd best check the specs first.

Version: Opera Mini 4.2
"The Only Browser You'll Ever Use!"
Pros: Fast, good looking, makes the internet usable on mobile devices.
Cons: None for me.
Summary: When you go to various websites on phones using their default browsers, the web pages usually bear little resemblance to what you would see using a computer. That is, once they finally load. Opera Mini fixes those BIG problems. Web pages look the... read more >>

Version: Opera Mini 4.2
Pros: There really were none.
Cons: Downloading issues. Not what everybody says it is.
Summary: First off, it would not download properly the first 5 times I tried. Then finally it worked. I tried it for 3 days. All it seemed to do was say connecting. When you go to type in a website, you have to hit menu to pull up the keyboard. It doesn;t do... read more >>

Version: Opera Mini 4.2
"Crashes the Palm Centro after short use."
Pros: Darn fast, variety of viewing options like mobile view and zoom, image download ability, somewhat easy page navigation using palm 'ring' button, bookmarking, history recall and visibility,
Cons: cannot copy and paste, no flash format, no streaming video support like weather channel maps static or in motion, crashes consistently after a few minutes of use, no sound, and generally seems rather 'buggy'.
Summary: This could be an awesome palm standard issue browser necessitating the IBM Java download, but the crashing episodes drive me crazy and force me to go back to the slow and clunky standard issue 'Blazer' web program. Does anyone else have this issue? ... read more >>
