Thanks Daniel… I figured there was a reason for the new pages on form entry. I’ve been using Opera Mini for a couple of days now and am starting to get used to the overall user experience… hopefully it keeps on evolving.

It’s really great to hear that Opera Mini is treating you well.

Turtle, Opera Mini is a ‘mini’ browser that works with a server on the back-end. All webpages go through the Opera Mini server and are pre-processed and compressed before sending it to the phone. As a result, in-form edits need to be opened in a new page (since they must first be processed by the back-end server).

Compared to the stock BB browser I still say it’s an improvement. It’s definitely not up to par with Mobile Safari, but it’s going in the right direction.

Sorry, looks like garbage on a Blackberry 8800, and they still don’t permit in-form edits of text. Still bounces you out to a separate window. They still have some work to do on it.
