Definitely excited about this release as we wait patiently for RIM's version some time in the next year... Bolt browser may not be on my Bold for much longer :)

Posted by evilkokonut Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

downloading now on my tour...

 
 
Posted by PiKappaAlpha Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

will this work for the pearl 8100 running on 4.5os?

 
 
Posted by evilkokonut Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

i hate that the pointer still cannot move diagonally. if the pointer moved like the one on the blackberry browser i would be all over this

Trying to download right now. Let's see if it works for the Pearl 8130. It says my device has not been verified as being capable of running Opera Mini 5 beta; I'm going to download anyway and see what happens!

9530 not supported. Booo!

Working on my Storm - .167

 
 
Posted by ftumph Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 877 days ago

This is also working just fine on my Storm (9530) with the .167 release.

I can install it on my 9630 but when I launch it it comes up blank.. if I move the trackball around it switches to different stuff, but I don't think it's compatible with the tour yet.

do a battery pull after you install it
i did that after getting the white screen and worked for me

 
 
Posted by bradley1972 Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

working fine on storm .148....all i did was click the link that said "download opera mini beta anyway" and all was well.

 
 
Posted by evilkokonut Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

you can enter text directly in the boxes now instead of opening up a new screen.

 
 
Posted by Timewarp Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

It just stays with blank screen. Also, probably it does not work on BES, as it cannot load EULA...Uninstalled.

 
 
Posted by VDub2174 Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 877 days ago

I got the same error message and I'm on BIS.

 
 
Posted by evilkokonut Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

do a battery pull, mine was doing the blank screen too before that

 
 
Posted by anderl72 Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

works fine on my 9500 running BES + BIS. I am impressed and look forward to the GA :)

Download went smooth for me on my 8130. Just checking out a couple of sites and so far, so good. It is faster than Bolt's browser (for me that is). So far, I'm liking it and it looks like Bolt is about to get deleted. Wish I had room for all three browsers but I do have a Pearl with a whopping 64mb of memory but, I do love my device. It's almost time for my upgrade but I don't know if I want to give up SureType.
I'm sorry; off track. Go ahead and try Opera Mini 5.

 
 
Posted by jeepmonster01 Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 877 days ago

I was in the same boat as you I had a 8130 till about 3 months ago upgraded to storm it has SureType its a good phone

 
 
Posted by Aarynk Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

I got the white screen as well on my Sprint Tour. Doing battery pull right now will report once comes back on... I hope it works I have been waiting for a good update on Opera

 
 
Posted by nosautbb Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

i like the new UI, but need to explore more. currently, i like the multiple tabs, but the options menu is something totally different and really need to get use to.

 
 
Posted by lovelydama Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

I got download failed.

 
 
Posted by Timewarp Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

Thanks guys, i forgot golden rule, do the battery pull ;=)

 
 
Posted by GMCloud27 Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

Downloaded via desktop link and did battery pull for Bold running 5.0.0.190 and works wonderfully!! Bolt is being uninstalled as I type this :)

 
 
Posted by Aarynk Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

battery pulled my Tour and now it seems to be working!! Looks great I think this just maybe my new preferred browser I'll give it a week to make sure but its looking like good bye Bolt

when I first opened it up and tried to go to a website it took about 3 mins to get some sort of "Font Data calculation"

 
 
Posted by bighap Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

Have to run in compatibility mode on Storm 5.0.0.191. Looks promising though.

I thought I would be the only one awake this late playing with my Blackberry!

 
 
Posted by paodomingo Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

Installed the one for OS 4.7's on my BB Curve 8900 with beta OS 5.0. When I open it up, it says "cannot detect a network connection".

 
 
Posted by darmar Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

On all of my devices I use Opera, it's the best, especially with that "sync" option with Opera Link...

 
 
Posted by jezzter Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

Works great on my 8900, but can't see an option to force wi-fi. Am I to assume it uses Wi-Fi as long as I am connected to it?

 
 
Posted by bthoward Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

wow the input on a storm is highly broken dobt hit backspace or it deletes the entire post or at least its doing that for¡e me noew also holding a char doesnt cap it and double space gives no period why more people dont just use the bb input code ill never understand this meand s that you get no correction help no nice drafgable editor and the other problems ive already mentioned oh well

 
 
Posted by oneshortsleeve Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 877 days ago

I found that going to "Settings" -> "Advanced" -> and turning off "Inline Editing" will fix this problem/

 
 
Posted by ramb0 Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

Got it going okay on my device.. it had white screen with the EULA, just hit the blackberry key and accepted it, still got blank screen. did a battery and it came loaded up fine after I did this. very cool.

 
 
Posted by bthoward Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

other than input sucking ive gotta hand it to them its very fast to load pages and while navigating and panning of pages feels slow it actually is tolerable and provides a lot of good looking content while it scrlls rat her than simply scrolling to nothingness and loading the content on ce you srop moving

 
 
Posted by kriss76 Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

Working very nicely on my Tour! :)

 
 
Posted by KasiCatastrophe Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

It says my device has not been verified as being capable of running Opera Mini 5 beta. I downloaded anyway, did a battery pull, and so far it is working great. Going to explore it a little more. I like the UI much more than the previous version.

 
 
Posted by acm9782 Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

running 4.5.0.81, despite saying it wasn't compatible on the download page. Just click "Download Anyway" and do a battery pull when installation is complete.

Tabbed browsing is great. Entering info in text boxes doesn't require opening a separate screen. So far, very fast.

 
 
Posted by Mr.Miagi Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

I just loaded the crackberry website (not the mobile one) in under 15 seconds with this browser. Puts the 9700 and Storm 2 video to shame!

I am on a Storm 9530

I clicked the download anyway link and its working. Little getting used to with the touch clicking but looks really cool.

 
 
Posted by Mr.Miagi Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

Yes I am replying to my own comment.... But this thing is ridiculously fast

 
 
Posted by happystormuser Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

im using on my 9630 and i love it. the pages load faster, the tabswork great and even the new lookisway cooler. theres even an an option to use a virtual keyboard, it looks good but it lagsbig time. and ithasahrd time catching all of your text as youcan tell by reading thos text. the bb keyboard is still bwtter. overall way bettwr than the last version and way better thn bolt.

 
 
Posted by happystormuser Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

sorry i ment 9530

 
 
Posted by ntekllc Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

Opera 5 runs flawlessly. I did not enable the virtual keyboard feature. Lanscape mode is also working. The password storage option is a big improvement over the orginal and 4.2 browser. Highly recomend this browser. Hope the full release is even better.

 
 
Posted by qdenning Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 877 days ago

Works G R E A T !!!!

I LOVE the tabbed browsing, the nav feels like it was designed for the touch interface. This is the first app I've used on my storm that provides the elegant experience on par with the iphone.
I love my storm, but it's not known for it's elegant user experience. This browser changes that. I've only used it for a few minutes, but I can already tell it's great!!!

THANKS OPERA!!!

I can't paste a URL into the address bar. When I hit the menu button while typing a URL, nothing happens.

I HATE programs that don't show a context menu when I hit the button that's supposed to show a context menu.

 
 
Posted by skyys Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 877 days ago

touch and hold the address bar. Options will box will appear right next to it.

Working great on the Storm. The ONLY thing I was for was a feature from Bolt where when you click on a link, a box with link pops up to make sure it's what you want. With opera, you click on a link and it automatically starts loading it. Relatively small complaint but otherwise an awesome browser.

 
 
Posted by sublime313 Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

enable the ability to use the blackberry menu button!! bring back ability to use SPACEBAR to scroll down!!

 
 
Posted by DigiCol Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 878 days ago

This seems to work well on my 9500. It seems to work better by just tapping the screen (iPhone like) rather than clicking it. Also if you activate the virtual keyboard in settings you get operas own keyboard instead of the standard RIM OS one !!!!!
