The one I posted was from Opera directly and was for a specific PDA. It was also the one that was originally linked by most websites (when it was hosted on Opera's server). I got it from an online friend on another message board via Direct Connect. I simply put it on a random free file-host site when members here started asking for it.

Basically what happened was people discovered they could make a modified dll to unlock Opera and get it to work on all Window Mobile devices. Those same people started passing the dll files around. In responce to people unlocking the browser, Opera took down the original and replaced it with one that was changed just enough so the moddified dll wouldn't work.

In addition the most current version (public beta) adds a 45-day trial. And with this trial now released, I'd assume that would make using and/or posting links to the previous versions against the rules and would be likened to pirated P2P software.

There is a setting where you can enlarge the screen and also enlarge the font. 14 point works on most pages, without causing overlaps.

It is definitely beta, but allowing me functional access to many more sites that I actually have to use, than either PIE or Netfront.

Thanks for the clarification Chris ;)

BTW ...you need to remove file from the "sendmefile" server as well .. seems others who quoted you previously has made the "link" stuck as original post ... :D

Actually I can't remove the file from SendMeFile. It's a non-registration site and was uploaded anyonmously. However, if no one downloads it for 30 days the file will automatically be deleted. But once the link has been posted it could live forever if it was to be passed around outside AximSite message board.

And I personally don't care if people pass the link around & download it. My reason for removing the link was an example of me practicing C.Y.O.A. 101. ;). If the admins feel very strongly about the link they can go around and remove it from every post. I did as much as I reasonably could, so now my hands are clean. :)

Anybody know the answer to the question? I also got the Opera software to work with an X51v with A06, but all of the characters are little squares.

Thanks for your help. Now that I can see the menus in english, I REALLY like it better than PIE.

One thing I hate about PIE is the way it doubles the size of some images, like the MyEbay button on the top of ebays pages. Anybody else see the the same thing?
Same thing ocurrs for me at oneplace.com. Being that it is a really small screen, I wish they wouldn't waste the real-estate.

Thanks again,
Doug
