Does this support data compression like Opera Mini?

The real rendering was a bit intensive at least for N95 as it was constantly whining about "low memory" all the time if you had a few tabs open.

This is awesome, full portrait and QWERTY keyboard and lots of stuff, thank you.

And for N8x0 too :O

This is great news, I hope you keep it up

Thanks, its a very usefull and fast browser!! Much better than Firefox

its great, fast and auto rotate

Thanx, my fav browser just came to the N900, wonderful work.

it works for the N8x0 also
at least that's what it says on the website

not to mention Opera Turbo, great if you don't have an unlimited dataplan, or a fast connection.
( I posted this reply using Opera on N900 by the way

edit, feedback: the interface works very well, the only gripe i have so far is that the kinetic scrolling does not feel as fast as MicroB. The 'friction' is probably set lower there.
