"You need an excuse for buying a new toy!"
So funny and so true... Opera Mini made me switch my old clunky phone for a new one.
I like the "One Web" vision Opera is pushing through!

tomassplatch: It's a funny thing... I've never been into mobile phones much, and my current phone was only meant to be used for SMS, and the odd call, as well as taking pictures whenever I don't have my regular camera with me. I actually bought it while working at Opera, imagine that. So I didn't care much about other features than SMS, calling and pictures before.

Now the #1 criteria for my next phone is that it will run Opera Mini 5 well. No Mini, no sale

It does work on my current phone, but I think I want a touchscreen phone to make browsing even more pleasant.

@Haavard: basicaly the same for me, lol. I also had to persuade my wife that being able to properly use internet in my phone is beneficial for our family budget and that therefore buying a new phone is a good investment :-)
Anyway,this is the second time in this two weeks i see you talking about opera mini 5! You already have it on your phone? Can't wait to see it! When?

Would Jon go trick-or-treating in an Opera Mini costume?
KarenThursday, April 2, 2009 8:29:29 AM
I wonder what he'd wear.

If I were him, I'd be the Blue Screen of Death!

Halloween is supposed to be scary, after all.

What would be the error message
KarenThursday, April 2, 2009 5:32:04 PM
Exactly!

You clearly have a difficult time understanding my askew sense of humor!

KarenSunday, April 5, 2009 2:16:38 AM
Thank you!

I've clearly got you fooled.
