Opera mini (Java applet browser)

Nifty little applet released a few days ago by Opera.

You view actual internet (not WAP) - nothing new - but the browser
renders HTML pages to remove the need for horizontal scrolling, and
apparently compresses the code, so file sizes are smaller, hence
quicker/cheaper to download.

Free too, and from what I've seen so far, no advertising. Obviously
your service provider still meters and charges your usage.

Should work on any Java-enabled mobile... not bad on the old handsets
without WAP2.0 or xHTML.

I installed it on my K750i yesterday and love it!

Thanks mate - awesome find. Sites that didn't load on my 6230 with
inbuilt browser now load perfectly. Thanks again.

Another question, do you (or anyone else) know of a java-based Instant
Messaging client that would be compatible?

I like eMessenger. There's a mobile version (for MSN IM) implemented
in xHTML, so it should work fine in your 6230's native browser, rather
than requiring a separate app.
