ANN: REVIEW: Best, Brand New Java-based Browser Opera Mini 4 beta 2!

I've always loved Opera's Web browsers. On the desktop with a screen having
a higher-than-average resolution (say, at least SXGA+), their free desktop
Opera browser is by far the best and most useful browser because it's the
only browser with (nearly) flawless dynamic zoom capabilities. On
non-dumbphone (that is, in our case, native Windows Mobile) platforms, their
Opera Mobile browser is, despite in some lacking functionality and bugs,
currently (as of version 8.65 and end of August, 2007) is the best browser.
Finally, as far as Java-capable "dumb" phones are concerned, their
Java-based and, what is more, FREE Opera Mini is simply the BEST browser out
there.
The Opera folks released the first beta of their brand new, 4 series of
Opera Mini this June. I've reviewed it in the MS Smartphone Web Browsing
Bible. Then, it had some annoying bugs and midlet manager (environments to
run Java midlets, including Opera Mini) vendor-specific problems
(particularly the crashing / quitting problem on (fortunately, only) one
Midlet manager and the "too large fonts" problems on all QVGA handhelds).

Fortunately, these problems / bugs seem to have all been fixed. Read on to
find out what has changed in the last 2.5 months!
