Hell freezes over: Opera Mini for iPhone approved!

I have to say Opera for Iphone sucks, I expected better and got worse! It loads Gmail as it would on a cell phone (not the Iphone evrsion like it should), when it loads full versions of web sites it is zoomed so far out that text looks like lines and you can't read any headings, it only has two zoom levels, zoomed out can't read any text, zoomed in, can only read close up text.

Horrible browsing experience for the Iphone, I wll not open it again until I here they have improved it, stick with the original Safari browser or buy ICabMobile which is an improvement on the Safari browser not a step back like the Opera Mini browser is.

Have to say that despite some nice touches, I'm not that impressed. Experience reviewed here: http://www.techloving.net/2010/04/opera-mini-5-app-released-for-iphone.html

it's not working on my 2G iPod touch :(..the
app opens up and it keeps on loading with the a circle rotating in the corner..am I the only one with this problem. btw I have 3.13 firmware..

Tried it out for a few hours and i like it a lot. Hopefully next update will fix the following bugs:

- autocorrect is disabled when typing anywhere!!! Writing this post now in opera mini and its a bitch to type!!!

- lack of pinch to zoom and only two zoom levels (on or off) is a fail

- youtube links do not work

- vertical scrolling is buggy and drifts left to right very easily

- no next or previous buttons when filling out forms

- when flipping between landscape and portrait view, you must manually hit refresh to make the page render properly, unlike in safari whete its automatic

- i would like a full screen view to be one of the bottom buttons, not buried within settings. Also i would like the mobile view option to be site-specific and not a global setting

Other than that im quite pleased with having an alternative to safari and will certainly be following this app's development

It does allow comment. So far nice but nothing wow too much

I just downloaded it, and it is indeed very fast. However, the zoom is severely annoying. You are either zoomed all the way out, or zoomed all the way in. There is no in-between customized zoom via pinch. Also, when in landscape mode, it doesn't zoom in to fill the width of the screen. You'll get a gap of empty space along the right side. Considering almost all of my page viewing is in landscape, this is *very* disappointing.

(2/5)

I just downloaded it here in Oklahoma on my iPad with no problem from the "give this link a shot" part of this post. Thanks!

He does indeed, though maybe not for long... iPhone Protective Services are investigating him for verbal and emotional abuse against an innocent iGadget.

its stuck at loadscreen, im using a 3gs, behind a NAT router and located in argentina. if I disable wifi and leave 3G it loads but it does not browse. Im an opera fan since PC version 5 or 6 I don't recall, I want opera badly on my iphone!

Can't imagine why anyone would want it, but glad you guys got what you want.
