OperaMini 4
One of the best WM browsers out there is also the cheapest – it’s free! Opera Mini runs in a JVM, so you will have to install one. I used Cloudyfa’s Esmertec Jbed.
Once you have Jbed installed, install the High Memory version of Opera Mini 4.
However, by default there is no one-click shortcut. Someone solved that here. (source: mwfielder)
Also, you have to click a couple of confirmations each time you load the browser, which is a bit of a pain. Again, though, there is a fix! (source: mwfielder)
- Use File Explorer and navigate to \windows\appdb\selector.utf
- Copy that file to a place you will remember
- Download the attached file to somewhere on the i760 and unzip it
- Copy the file (selector.utf) to \windows\appdb\
- Explorer will ask if you want to overwrite the file and you should click yes.
- Close everything and start up OperaMini. You should be able to navigate each time you open OperaMini up without seeing the 2 prompts.
The issue with having to confirm each time you load Opera Mini is an issue with the phone. I run Opera Mini on my Samsung, and after confirming the first time, it doesn’t prompt again.

Opera Software
It very well may be a Windows Mobile issue. It’s still an issue, though!
That said, Opera Mini is really just incredible. I’m looking forward to Opera Mobile 9.5 – if it incorporates much of what Mini does, I’ll probably upgrade to that.
I’ve heard of that issue on WM phones before. I believe it happens with all Java programs (like Opera Mini and Google Maps).
That’s probably true, but Opera Mini is the only Java app I use, so I can’t confirm that. Also, overwriting “selector.utf” may have fixed it for all apps, so I probably couldn’t test it anyway!
