How To Opera Mini 5 Adds Copy & Paste, Multiple Tabs, Plus A New Look

Monday, September 21, 2009

Looking for a new browser for the E71? Already a hardcore Opera Mini user? Then you’ll be happy to know that Opera Mini 5 is now available for download and boy does it bring some solid updates. Opera is calling it “the next generation of mobile browsing”. Most dumbphone owners should be ecstatic about this latest release, but even smartphone people like myself are extremely impressed by what this browser brings to the table.

New Features Include:

* tabbed browsing
* copy/paste text on a page
* UI update from previous version
* password manager
* speed dial w/ thumbnails
* plus all the other great features Opera Mini has always had.

Since this is a beta version, you won’t be able to sync/import bookmarks. Good thing is when you install this version it won’t overwrite the previous version so don’t worry about losing bookmarks.

Opera Mini 5 – Tips for E71 users

Sunday, September 20, 2009

In my last post I updated you on the new Opera Mini 5. I had also mentioned that some of the tasks were difficult to conduct on the Opera Mini (like text in capitals).

Opera Mini Logo My friends at Nokia Addict have posted shortcuts for Opera Mini 5 running on a E71. They are

* Turn off inline editing by going to Settings –> Advanced –> Inline editing and turn it off. Now whenever you are entering text, for example URL, hit the edit option and it will bring up the normal E71 message screen that allows you to edit content the way you would normally do on a E71
* Press 1 or hold the “OK” key to copy and paste in Opera
* Some keyword shortcuts are
o 1 – Select Text or Open URL in new Tab
o 2 – Scroll UP
o 4 – Scroll LEFT
o 5 – Zoom IN/OUT
o 6 – Scroll RIGHT
o 8 – Scroll DOWN
