Have to admit I'm impressed with Opera Mini 5.0 beta btw.
Well, in the context of a mobile device/computer such as the N900, asking for JavaSE AND JavaME doesn't seem too far fetched

In any case, the Opera Mini's experience is excellent in my Kaiser (touchscreen+qwerty usage) and in my Samsung E590 (no-touch, phonepad smartphone), just to name my current (in-use) devices. Running the fast (both in native performance and network-wise) Mini in N900 would elevate the device "value"... just IMHO
