Exclusive Video - Opera Mini 4.1 on Sprint Samsung Instinct Phone "EMULATOR"

Here is an exclusive Video of Opera Mini 4.1 on Sprint Samsung Instinct Phone "EMULATOR" from Sprint. The browser works on the emulator but there is no keyboard to enter text (just like the "actual" phone).

However the browser hangs on the actual phone on second and subsequent runs! Hopefully this will be fixed soon by Opera. It is uncertain if the problem is with Opera software or with Sprint Instinct's Java MIDP implementation. My hunch is Sprint because this device doesn't seem to be fully compliant (just look at the missing keyboard option in Java forcing you to rewrite every MIDP compliant Java application to use Instinct's keyboard widgets). Also note that when this video was created, even the emulator was missing Instinct's keyboard UI (which is likely to be available in next release of Sprint Toolkit).

Please be patient and watch the full video to see Opera Mini running (on the emulator, not the actual phone):



If you would like to make a request for Opera Mini on Instinct phone, please make a "polite" request to Opera here:
