Works great on my 3230! The previous version simply refused to work. I'm glad the new one does. Symbian coupled with opera mini, the possibilities are endless! By the way, is there anyway i can download the jar file onto my pc through the internet? I wanna keep a copy of it as backup so that i don't have to use my phone to download it through gprs everytime i reformat my phone. It can be quite costly. Thanks!

You can use a program called "wget" to set the correct phone useragent to download the .jad and .jar files.
Use Google to find out where to get it.

On the command line, run (all on one line):


wget --user-agent="Nokia3230/1.0 (1.0450.0) SymbianOS/7.0s Series60/2.1 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.0" --output-document=/dev/stdout "http://mini.opera.com/my"


You will see the following text:


... Your phone model was detected as Nokia - 3230 ...


along with a url link:


... href="/my/mini.jad?rnd2036683107=1&edition=hifi" ...


Copy this link into the end of this new command prompt to dl the .jad


wget --user-agent="Nokia3230/1.0 (1.0450.0) SymbianOS/7.0s Series60/2.1 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.0" "http://mini.opera.com/my/mini.jad?rnd2036683107=1&edition=hifi"


this will save a "mini.jad" file.. open it up and view the get url:


MIDlet-Jar-URL: http://mini.opera.com/builds/[....]2421/operette-hifi_myopera.jar


Now retrieve the .jar file by using this link in the command:


wget --user-agent="Nokia3230/1.0 (1.0450.0) SymbianOS/7.0s Series60/2.1 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.0" "http://mini.opera.com/builds/releases/operette-1.1.2421/operette-hifi_myopera.jar"


If you're lost, Google for more info.

Have downloaded opera mini and installed onto fone, when i try to go to a page after the main opera window appears it seems to load but goes no where it just sits there loading, how long does it normally take to load a page via opera mini? any help here would be good, my fone is a k700i uk.

@neonismo, thanks for the detailed instructions. Managed to get a compatible copy of opera mini from getjar.com, so it saved me a lot of headache. Thanks anyway mate. Cheers!
