Opera 10 out for Android Distributors

I can't wait to see this on Android

Just downloaded Opera Mini 5 Beta and followed on screen instructions but it is hanging at:

'Getting jar file
Please press back key to cancel'
and the progress bar just sits at 0%

Anyone else tried and succeeded?

I am using a Samsung Galaxy with GalaxoHero rom on 1.5

 

It won't work because Opera Mini 5 is not compatible with Android yet. We need an .apk file not the Jave .jar files {which are used on other phones}.

So basically were gonna have to wait for opera to release it for Android

Thanks for the quick reply. I saw that it was a .jar file and it gave me an option to install with Java so I thought it would work, but no such luck!

Hopefully it won't be long before the Android version is ready.

I have it running on my Hero. Maybe its because i have the Java app on my rom, but just download if from the website from your phone and it installed as a Java app. open the Java app and it will be in there.

Its blistering fast, but pages don't always format right, Java in browser doesn't really work, it has its own keyboard, doesn't rotate the screen properly in landscape mode, list goes on. Now if I had that speed in Hero's web browser I'd be a happy bunny.

 

Been using Opera from as far back as the Amiga, that's late 90's. Its only been in the last month or so they I've moved over to using Chrome more. A lot of the features we regularly see in web browsers now, first saw the light of day on opera. I use to go mad with tabs, would have like 50 open and it still wouldn't crash, have 5 open on IE and blue screen of death.

Also had it on my Nokia and WinMo.
