I wouldn't recomend putting the cache on the storage card as Ive found that it really slows down the browser and makes it crash more often. Im on WM2003 however *sigh* and its possible that the WM5 version behaves differently.
Also has anyone figured out how to make the browser start up in non fit to screen mode and zoom at 50%.... its a pain to set it every time I restart it (which is often because it crashes so much lol). I looked in the .ini file and I haven't found an option to set it..... maybe its a registry entry? *shrug*
Thanks in advance

seems to work ok for me... apart from problems rendering really long web pages...

I think it's going to be interesting to see which browser gets my cash... Opera vs Netfront

You may want to optimize your storage card - it'll do miracles. Please read http://pocketpcmag.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17921 on this.

In "Fit to screen" mode, these are OK settings too. Of course, you can even leave Left/Right untouched if you stick with the "Fit to screen" mode.

IMHO, Opera is MUCH faster. You may want to read the review of both apps linked from http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/ind...cket_pc&more=1

shortcut to go to top & bottom?

is there any tweak or shortcut for going to the top & bottom of a page?

By default Opera moves to the next object on the web page as you press the up, down, left, right buttons. This modification will scroll an entire page as you press each button.
1) Edit the "input.ini" file located in "\Application Data\Opera"
2) Go to the "[Browser Widget]" group
3) Change "Down = Navigate down" to "Down = Page down"
4) Change "UP = Navigate up" to "UP = Page up"
5) Change "Left = Navigate left" to "Down = Page left"
6) Change "Right = Navigate right" to "UP = Page right"




There are a bunch of other obvious and not so obvious options in the INI files but I'm just running out of time. Don't be afraid to tweak these options as you can always change it back if Opera doesn't properly work afterwards. I hope that this helps people as I've found Opera to be awesome after just a little bit of tweaking. Please post other options and ideas. Or, correct anything that I have messed up here.


Have fun! :approve:

Please note that moving the Opera cache itself can also be done with the following:

in opera.ini [User Prefs] e.g.
Cache Directory4=\Ramdisk

(Thanks to Solnyshok for the tip - see this for more info!)

Is there a way to assign the "wireless" and "voice note" side buttons to scroll up and down instead of remapping the d-pad? I'd much rather use those for easy scrolling and then still have web object jumping control with the d-pad. Best of both worlds... :)

nope, only thumbboard alphanumeric keys can be assigned.

hope the Opera folks fix this, they are aware of the problem (I've told them about half a year ago)

Hmmm... I thought that the spinning thumb on PocketPCs that have them worked for it though. Or is something extra already built into the OS for that and therefore it doesn't have to be specifically supported in Opera -- and that is why it works?

I want to move all the installed files under "application data" to storage card but want to leave the cache under main memory. Is that possible?
