			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finally a full-blown browser for a not so Bold BlackBerry! Last week Opera ASA announced the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.operamini.com/beta">Opera Mini (beta) 4.2</a> browser. It has been a while since the 4.1 release, I was eager to try it out.</p>
<p>Beautiful! It has WiFi support, download speed is pretty good. Opera has added couple of North American hosted proxy servers &#8211; this should help as well. Get this: because of the WAP/socket/http support, I&#8217;m able to surf on a BlackBerry email plan only, when WiFi is not available. Yes, I had to disable the firewall, but that&#8217;s okay for now.</p>
<p>The address bar can be used for web search, much like your desktop browser.</p>
<p>Bookmarks &#8211; now this is a real plus. You can manage your bookmarks on the web, if you have an account with <a target="_blank" href="http://my.opera.com/community/">My Opera</a>, and get them synchronized OTA on your BlackBerry client.</p>
<p>RSS feeds are here. I&#8217;m using Goggle Reader as my main feed manager, accessible from anywhere, but this mini browser has a built-in feed reader. Comes in handy.</p>
<p>There are two browsing options: mobile view and classic view. Javascript and CSS are rendered quite well. I like the magnifier option to quickly scan a page.</p>
<p>Best use so far? Being able to access my JahJah account and address book to initiate long distance (read international) calls without paying Rogers a fortune. I also have an unlimited incoming voice plan, so web initiated calls are a super-bonus in this case.</p>
<p>Go get the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.operamini.com/beta">Opera Mini 4.2</a> now. It is supposed to work well on other smart phones.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/baldean/3044392475/">See it in action.</a>
</p>
<p>Later edit: yes, I have switched to the iPhone 3GS in the mean time. Love it! </a></p>
