Anyone have any experience with Opera? I haven't tried it yet, but am willing to give it a go.

I'm going to be giving it a try tonight

Well what did you like about it? Where there any good features compared to blazer?

I'm still using the original browser for my phone (going to test opera on my 650 tonight).

Let me know TazUk

It was slow and didn't render the pages very well. The interface wasn't that brilliant either

It was a while ago so they may have improved it now.

So I was going to test Opera Mini last night, and I went to do a sync for the first time in a few months (haven't really changed anything on my phone to make it worth syncing).

Well my sync isn't working now. USB drives are fine, no errors in device manager, even reloaded drivers.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the palm desktop and hotsync software. Still no luck.

It could be possible my cord is a peice of crap so I ordered a usb Bluetooth device to try and connect it wirelessly.

Ugh what a pain. I can't use gmail because it needs the java virtual environment.... and I can't install that because I can't find a PRC file for direct download.. And I can't sync.

You can find the Java app here. It's free to download for 650 owners, but doesn't show the 680 or 700 under the drop down menu. Im sure it will work though.

I actually have the .prc file, on my computer. I can't sync to load it.

For some reason the downloading directly of the java PRC wasn't working when I tried it yesterday.

(I can download other PRCs directly fine, I think the link was just messed up)
