Opera Mini 4.1 Beta Now Available
Published by Ewan Spence at 10:03 BST, April 2nd 2008
More Convenient! More Productive! More Fun! Announced at CTIA in Las Vegas, the new version of Opera Mini, v 4.1, certainly sounds like it's at home with the lingo of the city of flashy lights. This is a beta release, but nevertheless with a speed increase of up to 50% and the ability to save pages and content without invoking any other application on your device, Opera Mini continues to provide strong competition to on-device browsers. Screenshots and more details below.
From the press release:
The new Opera Mini takes your mobile browsing experience to a new level
of interactivity with both the phone and the Web. With Opera Mini 4.1
you can:
- Go racing
- Opera knows a thing or two about performance. Opera Mini 4.1 features
speed improvements and is up to 50% faster than Opera Mini 4.
- Autocomplete your URLs
Save your fingers. Opera Mini will automatically suggest URL completions, making address input easy and intuitive.
- Save pages
Getting ready to lose your signal? Make the most of offline time by saving Web pages for later viewing.
- Find content in the page
Finding that word or phrase on the small screen has never been easier.
Opera Mini now lets you immediately find the content you want.
- Download and upload files
Now you never have to leave Opera Mini for your phone's clunky native
browser to download images, ringtones and other content, or add
attachments to e-mail. Opera Mini handles all of these files.

I wish the icon could be sorted out. I hate the really small icon you get in the menu with Opera Mini, the standard Opera browser icon is much better.

Just extract the jar using a unzipper and replace the image with one you like, simple as that.
Guess Who
...or install it from the Services (WAP) browser, I got the big icon in this way. Installing from pre-downloaded jre/jar resulted the small icon.

My phone doesn't have a services (WAP) browser anymore, so I'll have to give the first option a try. Thanks for the tip

Is there a way to move the bookmarks etc over to the new version without much of a hassle (not including syncing with desktop Opera which I don't use)?
If it's a matter of copy & paste from a folder that's fine. I feel that I have tweaked my start page and bookmarks to perfection and it would be a shame to have to do everything again, although Opera Mini is by far the best mobile browser I have used across several platforms.

You don't have to sync with the desktop browser per se. You can create a my.opera.com user account and use the Web interface with your preferred desktop browser.

My 'multimedia device' seems to have slowed down a bit after installing this beta. Anyone else facing this issue???

Anyone wanting to copy over the feeds, bookmarks or speed dials should try the 'synchronize Opera ' in green, at the bottom of the start screen. Make an account and sync with the 4.0 version; then sign in with the 4.1 and sync.. Now the beta looks just like my other opera mini..
