Tal let me know that Opera has released Opera Mini 6 today! This new version brings a slick look to Opera Mini along with a few other features. I have to admit I have not really played with Opera Mini since BlackBerry 6 was released but it definitely warrants a second look now. The new version 6 of Opera Mini includes:
- A fresh new look – Opera Mini 6 sports a new and improved design, including a new skin, and new zoom and jump buttons for easy touch-navigation.
- Share – Share links directly to major social network sites as you browse, directly from Opera Mini 6.
- YouTube support – Click any Mobile YouTube video to launch it directly on your device’s native media player (if available).
- Improved zoom for touch screens – Pinch-to-zoom is now supported for multitouch devices. Regular touch devices now zoom with a double-tap, or with Opera’s new zoom buttons.
- Tailored to Tablets – We’ve designed a new user interface especially for tablet users.
- Open Link in Background – Read your news uninterrupted and utilize the power of tabs by opening new links in the background.
- Better Font Support – We’ve been working hard to improve the selection and rendering of Asian fonts, including Thai and Arabic.
You can download the latest Opera Mini 6 from your BlackBerry at this link or read more about the release here from your PC.

That’s some hot stuff there! I sure wish it could replace the native browser for all URL launching.

This is why I never bothered. It’s too much work. I want something done now and hate dealing with copy/paste.

Very nice looking update. I was surprised it didn’t load on top of the beta 5.2 I was running tho. Guess I’ll have to delete one of them, the old I’m guessing, too!

I’ll try this now. Ever since browsing on BB’s being censored in Indonesia, I have to use opera mini as the workaround
