Opera Mini 5 beta for Blackberry
The king is dead, long live the king!
New icon (left) clearly looks much nicer
Opera Mini has long become a common means of surfing the web on Blackberry phones, since the Blackberry native browser has problems with speed, page display and extremely unpleasant inability to open a series of pages. But Opera, until recently, was also not pleased with the quality of work - the low priority of Blackberry for Opera Software was striking.
To the credit of the developers, they took into account most of the problems in the new version of Opera. In this article I will talk about what has been fixed in the new version and will give a brief overview of the new functionality.
Device: Blackberry 9000 bold
The need to enter a password in a separate window
Previously, in order to enter a password or some text in a form on the site, you had to go to a separate window. Now “everything is just like people”, the text is entered into the form right on the site. First hurray!
The ability to view only one page at a time
Previously, you could only see one page. The owners of Bb could only look at the Iphone with envy (this prompted me to buy an Iphone in addition to Bb).
As seen in the screenshot, now tabs are supported. But working with tabs is slowing down a bit (I hope this is a beta problem).
Fonts
In the previous version, the fonts looked very scary. It was obvious that the browser was simply ported from another platform, and not made for Bb.
Now everything looks extremely nice!

Password Manager
Given the inconvenient input of passwords, which I mentioned above, their constant input was just flour. Now there is a password manager!
Menu
Navigating the new Opera menu is a miracle. Finally guessed using trackball! Everything is available in one click and a little trackball scrolling.
Tabs
Not to say that just the list of sites was inconvenient, but the tabs are extremely pleasing to the eye.
Speed
The browser works significantly faster than the previous version. This is especially noticeable on large sites with an abundance of media content.
findings
With the release of the new Opera Mini, it is possible that the Iphone will be moved from the pedestal of the phone that is most convenient for surfing the web. Hopefully, minor flaws will be fixed in the release.
My rating: 4.5 stars
