As with the first Opera Mini 4 beta, the new one will automatically suggest a place to begin reading when you load a Web page. When it's time to dive into the page, it enables you to zoom in on the content you want. Also, Opera Mini dynamically changes the size of text and images, with the aim of reducing the amount of unnecessary scrolling, to therefore making it more convenient to read pages.

Opera Mini links to a proxy (or remote) server to pre-process and compress Web pages and content before sending it to your phone. The idea is this will greatly speed up the browsing experience on a cell phone or smartphone and, because you're receiving less data, reduce data-usage costs as well; particularly for those without all-you-can-eat data plans.

You can check out Opera Mini 4 here. Or you can go to mini.opera.com/beta directly from your BlackBerry to download the browser over the air.

Conveniently, the beta installs beside any current versions of Opera Mini you might have already installed. That way, if you run into trouble, you can always go back to the previous version.
