Thanks Daniel. I originally heard about Opera Mini 4 from the folks over at blackberrycool.com. If you want to recruit more Blackberry users to help with testing, I’m sure that the authors would be happy to post that request for you.

Blackberry phones are very important to us, as it’s a very popular phone here in the US. We’ve done some nice improvements with beta 2 of Opera Mini 4, apparently we need to do more. Bug reports, like yours, should help us with improvements.

I have posted a bug report using the link you provided. It’s really nice to see that Opera is on top of things, which gives me a lot more confidence that the bug reports are reviewed by a real person. I know there’s a ridiculous number of different handsets out there, but it does seem like Blackberry gets the short end of the stick when it comes to testing (despite a large user base). In fact, the issue I had mentioned in the first beta had to do with agreeing to the license agreement. Blackberry users had to try every key until they hit the magical one that selected the OK button. Perhaps you guys could expand your in-house Blackberry test platforms to include the two most recent iterations of each Blackberry series, both with the original OS the device shipped with, and the current OS release. Easier said than done, I’m sure
