Anyone used opera mini mobile browser

I read from global-dial-free.com site that

Opera Mini is a fast and easy alternative to Opera's mobile browser, allowing users to access the Web on mobile phones that would normally be incapable of running a Web browser. This includes the vast majority of today's WAP-enabled phones. Instead of requiring the phone to process Web pages, it uses a remote server to pre-process the page before sending it to the phone. This makes Opera Mini perfect for phones with very low resources, or low bandwidth connections. Opera Mini offers the same speed and usability as the renowned Opera mobile browser, and uses Opera's Small Screen Rendering technology to provide access to the Web. It has all the features expected of a browser, and more, such as bookmarks, browsing history, and ability to split large pages into smaller sections for faster browsing.
Sounds quite impressive, anyone here in the forum used it and share some light on this.

I do use it, yes, instead of my handset's inbuilt browser.

It's reduced my WAP bill by a fair chunk, which is nice, and pages tend to load faster and be easy to read.

I don't have any complaints about it, to be honest!

Yes I use it and it's great. It cuts down your data bills significantly, and formats the web pages pretty decently. I still use version 3.1 as 4.0 had some things in I didn't like as much and it gave me a few issues, when 4.1 comes out I'll give that a go. 3.1 and 4.0 are both available still.

Hi, thanks for the input. I will definitely give it a try. Just one quick question, I tried download it from the site, but it came up some French, does Opera Mini support different languages.

It supports dozens of languages. Did you use your built-in phone browser to download? What sort of phone do you have?

The best way is to go into your phone browser and input-http://mini.opera.com/

If I remember right it will then give you the option to select your language, including British English (if that's what you are after).

I'd check it on my Nokia but my GPRS is down at the mo :mad:

If you have trouble let me know and when my connection is back I'll give ya a step by step guide.
