And this is Opera Mini, written , and concerning Software
WAP browsers on mobile phones are all pants. You know this. Sadly, there aren't any decent HTML browsers out there unless you buy a phone with a browser built in (and they all seem to be XHTML browsers, which implies to me that they don't work with 99% of the web) or buy a browser. Buying a web browser? What is it, 1995? I've been using a Java midlet HTML browser that's rubbish; doesn't do forms, for example, which means no Google. Until now. Now, there is Opera Mini, which works fantastically. It's only available from Opera if you're in Scandinavia, but numerous people have mirrored it if you were to, e.g., search Google for 'operalow.jad'. Once you find a URL for operalow.jad, just point your phone's WAP browser at that URL, and job's a good-un.
Eric pointed to the release, so cheers that dude Eric. A real browser on my k700i! Hooray!

Tenor: ah, that's good, then. I was going by the opera site itself saying that it was available only to Scandinavians, and I hadn't checked.

Out of curiosity, have you tried using Minimo? I've never done so myself (as I can't download things to my mobile), but the developers seem to be doing pretty decently.

jordan: minimo's a proper app, isn't it? My phone's not a smartphone (nor will it ever be), so I can only run Java midlets..

[...] Enough Java support to run Opera Mini [...]
Opera Mini can be downloaded from my.opera.com. You only need to register as an Opera Community member.
