It is NOT downloadable

Despite what the news blurb says, the BREW version cannot be downloaded. All of the downloads that are available on the Opera Mini website as of this moment are Java versions. And as one other poster said, as far as Verizon is concerned, the only way you'll be getting it is if VZW decides to add it to the Get It Now catalog. Even if the BREW version was posted for download, the dumb Openwave browser on most VZW phones would never allow you to actually download and install it.

Nice try though. 🤤

I went to Opera's site operamini.com from my LG VX8100's verizon browser and I tried to DL the mini that was on there. It correctly detected my phone, but said that my phone doesn't support Java. This means that the application is NOT the brew version. I bet you're right and VZW will put it on the Get It Now and charge. It figures.

Taken from the article
Opera did not say when the browser will be downloadable from its web site.


So its not really the carrier (at least not yet), but it's just not available.

It looks like they've now updated the article to say it's not downloadable yet. Before, they ended the article by saying that it could be downloaded from the Opera Mini site, which was just totally false. Glad they corrected it. 🙂
